" Hedge Funds Back Clinton "
 

Published in " The Wall Street Journal " July 30th , 2016 pg A5


" Hedge Funds are playing a far bigger role than in past elections
and Hillary Clinton has been the single biggest beneficiary ."

" Owners and employees of hedge funds have made $122.7 Million
in campaign contributions this election cycle , more then twice as much as they gave during the 2012 cycle ".

" The data shows that the seven financial firms alone have generated nearly $48.5 million for groups working for Mrs. Clinton ."
" The total for Donald Trump : about $19,000 . "
" And amid criticism that Mrs. Clinton has close ties with the financial industry , her campaign has emphasized her plan to confront Wall Street " .

That's because Trump promised to tax the hedge funds. Hillary told Wall St not to worry about what she says about taxing them. She would never push it hard enough to get it done. Hillary is taking in big bucks from Wall St.

It is a very strange situation has to make a reasonable person wonder if she really has any intention to " go after Wall Street " .
Here is a bit more from the same article :

" Hillary Clinton has the toughest plan to reform Wall Street , clean up the abuses .. and close loopholes that benefit hedge funds a campaign manager said ".
" Multimillion-dollar donors to groups backing Mrs. Clinton Haim Saban , who controls Saban Capital Group ; Renaissance Technologies LLC founder James Simons ; George Soros of Soros Fund Management , and Paloma Partners founder Donald Susman ".
NOTE : A photo in the same article of Mr. Simons states as a caption : " James Simons has contributed $9.5 Million to Clinton groups .

Mr. Simons is one of the wealthiest people on Wall Street --- other articles state that he made over $1.5 Billion thru his trading activities last year .
Clearly they feel that Hillary will not do anything to interfere with their business practices .

Amazing

"Donald Trump said “hedge fund guys are getting away with murder” when he called for ending a lucrative tax advantage for investment managers, but his published tax plan would give them an even bigger break.

Trump, the presumptive Republican nomi..............."


Trump's Tough Talk on Hedge-Fund Taxes Doesn't Match His Plan - Bloomberg Politics

BFD.....a lot of people back the wrong horse at the race track every day.

But most people are not in the business of assessing risks and rewards, are they?

Obviously Wall Street realizes that Ms. Clinton`s flogging them in her campaign is just the opposite of what she will really do when in office . Behind " The Curtin " an understanding has been reached .
Otherwise these mostly publicly unknown titans would not be feeding so much of their money into her campaign .
Trump on the other-hand they do fear which is why they are trying to sink him . They fear that they could not control him .

:agree: ...:thumbup:

Really? You really believe that?

Trump IS playing ball...it's an act, it's theater, it's reality TV.

Trump NEEDS the banks...his livelihood depends on it. You REALLY think he's going to try to screw them over?

you're being played...

Agree, a RIGGED system

He can't be bought.

All the data on Clintons (esp their foundations and speaking fees show otherwise

Yes every business needs one or more commercial bank . The larger the business or business empire the more relationships with commercial banks .

Commercial Banks are NOT " Investment Banks " or Wall Street Hedge Funds . There is a HUGE difference .

It`s the Hedge Fund Managers / Owner/ Operators and the Investment Bankers that traditionally ride as close to or over the edge of the Regulatory Operating Rules as possible .
It is the same folks who often operate on " Insider Information ". These are NOT the type of Funds and Investments that would be open / available to 99% of US Voters .

The Dems are extremely good at pretending to attack an industry while the same industry is very comfortable handing them millions to do so .

Why ? Because the Captains of the industries in question have already received the " nod and wink " that all will cease when the election is won . Then it will be business as usual and the Dem Voters will have tuned back in to their favorite TV Shows for another 4 years .

Yes so sadly true .

What industry are you talking about?
