This book is not about investing in hedge funds. It does, however, teaches you how to invest like a hedge fund manager. This means you invest globally; you invest in variety of asset classes (equities, metals, bonds, VC, real estate, etc); you shift your investments depending on the market climate; and so on. Essentially, this is the "edge" Mr. Boucher was talking about. You, as an investor, are not encumbered to invest in any particular asset class, sector, country, or investment style as would other money managers do. This book gives you investment tools / models that you can use right away. Plus it also teaches you how to understand them so you can build your own tools as well, or at least be able to recognize when a tool stops working. Mr. Boucher, THANK YOU for generously sharing your research and the ideas / techniques of other great innovators. Mr. "X" would have been very proud of you. Oh yeah, I like the "Coconut Price Index (CPI)" analogy - I almost died of laughing.

这本书不是关于投资对冲基金的。然而，它确实教会你如何像对冲基金经理那样投资。这意味着你在全球投资；您投资于各种资产类别（股票、金属、债券、VC、房地产等）；你根据市场环境改变投资；等等。本质上，这就是布彻先生所说的“边缘”。作为投资者，您不会像其他货币经理那样，对任何特定资产类别、部门、国家或投资风格进行投资。这本书给你投资工具/模型，你可以立即使用。此外，它还教你如何理解它们，这样你就可以构建自己的工具，或者至少能够识别工具何时停止工作。布彻先生，感谢您慷慨地分享您的研究成果和其他伟大创新者的想法/技术。“X”先生会为你感到骄傲的。哦，是的，我喜欢“椰子价格指数”的比喻——我差点笑死了。
