Reuters – Aggressive government action can hurt the market, but regulators should clamp down on excessive borrowing by banks and investors to prevent another credit crisis, veteran hedge fund manager Paul Singer said at a conference.
Singer said the current "anti-capitalist" fervor, inspired by last year’s market meltdown and the ongoing recession, will likely lead to increased regulation. These measures would only prolong the problem, he told some 1,200 hedge fund executives at the Ira Sohn Investment Research Conference on Wednesday.
