Aggressive managed portfolio?

[italkcash]

Hedge Funds are known to be aggressive and are using strategies that can be copied by private investors, although with a greater risk than Hedge Funds due to the fact of money involved and cash flow.

For the smaller investors a fixed-income arbitrage strategy is a good way to control the cash from from a psychological point of view. Going into a position for both directions poses a great risk as closing the loosing investment can seem hard to control. Never the less spread betting and using arbitrage has been working in some cases.

Another method is to keep going short all the time, but again hard to control from a novice point of view. All these tactics are widely used by Hedge Funds with a great deal of cash to stand against in bad times, but can for clever investors prove as a great working tool.
