Popular Science article - MarketPsy Capital
The latest Popular Science Magazine (February print issue) has a great article on our upcoming, but separate business, MarketPsy Capital. The MarketPsy Capital long-short hedge fund is the primary strategy discussed in the article, although we have several other fascinating strategies as well.
I'd love to discuss it more, but I can't discuss our proprietary strategies in too much detail. I think the fact that we can analyze investors', analysts', and financial reporters' writing patterns to detect collective psychological biasing is pretty exciting. Even more exciting is that we can predict, within a range of probabilities, where stocks are likely to go next.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which is the licensing organization for asset managers, has some regulations about discussing hedge funds in public. Many hedge funds have very limited websites -- a company description and employment page only, see HBK Investments. Some hedge funds are totally obscure (see Cannell Capital), and others' restrict access from US web surfers: GLG Partners. The above are all major hedge funds. A discussion of the SEC rules is in the following blog post.
The SEC also requires that US investors be accredited, which it defines as:
1. Any natural person whose individual net worth, or joint net worth with that person's spouse, at the time of his purchase exceeds $1,000,000; or
2. Any natural person who had an individual income in excess of $200,000 in each of the two most recent years or joint income with that person's spouse in excess of $300,000 in each of those years and has a reasonable expectation of reaching the same income level in the current year.
I think the Popular Science article does a good job of explaining our underlying strategies (without giving away the valuable bits), but unless US investors are considered "accredited" by the SEC, then I can't offer fund investments. I hope that answers any questions for aspiring investors. For more information about investing in the fund, please contact Dr. Peterson at: marketpsy@gmail.com.
Happy Investing!
