I believe he had a call in Feb or March of 2000 that asked about his portfolios underperforming the markets. He said he was not bearish but risk averse. He said that with the B2B fund he recommended in the Feb letter, anyone who bought the fund was matching market returns with far less risk. That showed me much of the off the books stuff gives him the ability to hedge. Gives him something to be right about. It also gives him the ability to advertise whatever "the fish are biting." Remember those mutual funds he recommended people buy in April 2000 for their IRAs just before the April 15 deadline? Check out where they are today...
