Aug 15, 1992 WT - Have You Counted the Cost?
In our time, inflation, stock-market declines, bank failures, and so forth, have caused the ruin of many who put their trust solely in material riches.

Hedge Funds Still Off
by berrygerry indid the investment guru(s) at bethel pick the wrong fund manager, and hence the big need for cash?.
laggner refers to companies like valeant, sunedison and micron technology as hedge fund hotels, where you check in but cant check out.. i mean they cant get out because they are the market, laggner said.
when they all try to get out, the stock collapses.. valeant is a classic example of a hedge fund hotel in that it has dropped from a high of $260 a share to the $100 range as the stock was obliterated by sellers.

Did the investment guru(s) at Bethel pick the wrong Fund Manager, and hence the big need for cash?
Laggner refers to companies like Valeant, SunEdison and Micron Technology as hedge fund “hotels,” where you check in but can’t check out.
“I mean they can’t get out because they are the market,” Laggner said. “When they all try to get out, the stock collapses.”
Valeant is a classic example of a hedge fund hotel in that it has dropped from a high of $260 a share to the $100 range as the stock was obliterated by sellers. Shares of SunEdison, which was a popular solar energy play for hedge funds, have dropped from $31 to $6. Micron Technology’s stock price has been chainsawed in half.
It will be interesting to see whether a significant portion of hedge fund clients start withdrawing money from the industry. With some of the most prestigious hedge funds down double digits this year, net cash inflows into the industry slowed a little in the third quarter.

This would probably lend credence to the original post:
One of the large university libraries that our researchers use has some five million books, 58,000 periodicals, 5.4 million microforms, and thousands of electronic databases. The Writing Department also maintains a large archive of clippings, experiences, and historical information that is constantly being updated with material from local sources as well as from our branch offices around the world.
Why would you need to go anywhere else?

Babylon The Great Has Fallen" (false religion) do they still teach that ?
As we speak. (That's what brought up the question in my mind.)

Also weeping and mourning over her are greedy men of commerce, “traveling merchants . . . , who became rich from her.
Does religion really enrich corporations?
Why no such reference for 23 years?
