11:01 ET Hedge Fund Rumors : Rumors are circulating that a Bermuda-based hedge fund is in trouble due to massive equity losses; the rumors are being credited with producing solid bond market gains today. Along with the recent developments in Turkey (see Briefing.com's Stock Brief for more), these hedge fund rumors are exacerbating a trend toward risk aversion. This is not on the scale of the 1998 Russia/LTCM scare, but the results are similar: falling equities, rallying bonds, and -- most likely -- an increasingly concerned Fed.
