News comments:
Whether its gorgeous george in accounts, oil in the works at BP or Bebo selling out to some money launderers, hedge funds are in a betting mood.

The Euro is a short, Europeans are too short and BP is short of credit ratings but worst of all Foxconn iPad makers are short of goodwill and the meaning of life.

Today's shorts:
Useless UK Ready To Throw The Towel In (telegraph)
Cable Cobbles Corporate Cupcakes (telegraph)
Traders Read Hedge Funds For Dummies (ftalphaville)
