If your theory was in fact true, then I would imagine every hedge fund, every year, would have to liquate every single asset, to calculate returns/profits? Only then would they be able to figure out bonuses, correct?
So if a hedge fund that managed 1 Million dollars, invested in 1 stock, the stock doubled, but they didn't sell anything, then the hedge fund manager wouldn't get his 20% at year end????? Interesting.
LOL!!!!
The evil naked shorts can't officially book a profit on their naked shorts until they cover. So your claims below just got wacked out.
