Simons’s $18 billion Renaissance Institutional Equities Fund declined 12 percent since its value peaked last May. Mandel’s Lone Cedar Fund dropped about 10.6 percent from its high in December, according to people familiar with the fund. SHIFT of wealth..
interested in what you said about increasing inflation and decreasing growth in asia.
does it look like gov’t intervention leans toward fighting inflation or fighting low econ growth?

Hardly scientific evidence, I know, but that’s the best I can tell. What’s your take?
