Who are the Greedy Hedge Funds and Wall Street Investors?

President Obama recently referred to the Greed Hedge Fund owners who would not go along with the Chrysler Bail out. Just who are these people and why would they not want to help the country and Chrysler Corp? Do you have a retirement plan and do you sit down every day decide which stock and bonds you are going to buy and sell today? No you have someone who does that for you. Most likely you are invested in mutual funds or you have hired a financial expert to manage your money. What usually happens is you send in your money to a company and they invest it for you based on your telling them your risk tolerance. The more risk you take the greater your return or loss on your investment. Hedge Funds are just such a place except they take more risks and are limited to fewer but wealthier investors. The Hedge Fund Manager has a legal responsibility to the investors to make money bu investing it in things that could produce high returns. Without these people willing to risk their money we would not have the things we have today. Henry Ford did not fund the production of Ford Motor Company all by himself. He talked other people into investing in his idea. in return he gave them a piece of the company. Henry Fords Idea was to make a car that the common person could afford. Until that time only the wealthy had cars. We need the investors otherwise you will not get new products or services. Investors invest to make a profit and will invest again to make more money. Every time they invest it means that some one has to be working to produce something to sell and make a profit. Most investment comes from retirement accounts and small investors. I invested $600.00 in a small publishing company and it is now worth $1,800.OO. (If I sell) If I and other investors had not invested in this company they could not have expanded and hired more people, who are making money because I am making money. This is what made the US great and we need to encourage investing in our future.
