Hugh laments on the things he didn't see as clearly in 2004, as he does now. There's a warning from someone who's experienced it - if you're anointed an investment god, don't get too high on your own supply. And an article from The Financial Times is eviscerated for forewarning the coming power of digital currency.

Hedge Fund pirate Hugh Hendry and co-host Chris Sweeney chronicle the inner workings of the uncorrelated and legendary Eclectica Fund. The boys use Hugh's monthly client letters as a Hedge Fund boot camp to reveal what he was thinking and why he made the decisions he did, in real time. No new Hedge Fund wannabee can afford to miss the journey to the present day where Hugh reveals and expounds upon his latest macro insights. 

This week there's also chats about The Beastie Boys, Swedish discount retailer Axfood, the power of a third, how price-to-sales works as a value metric and how one of Hugh's former colleagues fled Iran stitched inside a sofa.

The narrative continues as we jump from uranium into the oil market, and we get filthy, maybe even dirty... Why did the scorpion kill the frog? Hey hedge Fund managers gotta make money. There's also a look at China, could it be about to turn Japanese? Too early to say conclusively but the Princes of the Yuan are stirring?

No new Hedge Fund wannabee can afford to miss the journey to the present day where Hugh reveals and expounds upon his latest macro insights. 

This week they discuss his journey into 2004, why he told his clients to "bury their money in the backyard" and what he makes of the $1.8 billion purchase of London skyscraper 100 Bishopsgate. Sadly, there's no orgasms this time but Hugh's maybe contemplating a return and refuses to let the episode end as the trade ideas keep flowing and he delivers an extended masterclass. Even Iggy Pop gets a mention. Use the chapter headings and the closed caption service to skip to the nitty gritty.

Hedge Fund pirate Hugh Hendry and his co-host Chris Sweeney chronicle the inner workings of the uncorrelated and legendary Eclectica Fund's 15-years of operation, from 2002 to 2017.

The boys are using Hugh's monthly letters to clients as a basis to take the audience on a journey into what he was thinking and why he made the decisions he did, in real time. It's the financial equivalent of a gripping true crime adventure. It's also an exclusive look behind the curtain of a Hedge Fund with nothing off-limits.

This week they discuss how Hugh drove home his epic gold trade and why if he still ran a hedge fund, he'd be going big on carbon trading. But be warned, Hugh is in a bad mood this episode, even though he just celebrated his birthday in St Barts! Poor, poor Chris.

I recorded this last summer. I have so much admiration for Professor Pettis. Almost everyone in macro with risk positions in China inevitably must seek out his sage council. I really enjoyed the opportunity to bathe in his wisdom once more. But first, we had to talk about the rock scene in Beijing. Enjoy.
