The tough part anytime for the masses attempting to follow hedge fund traders is this..Many top trading firms and hedge funds use what's called reverse trading ....They have one group appearing to buy while they have another group building massive short positions...Especially when it comes to commodities we never know what the exact intention is when they use the media...Take for instance Soros...In one month he made two conflicting statements about Gold...In one conversation he was bearish and in another he was bullish...You also don't know if these purchases are used as hedges because gold is the best hedge there is pretty much...Many large hedge funds use a market neutral trading strategy which is simple in theory but complex to execute...Its easier to follow someone like Buffet or Cascade investments ....But to follow the hedge fund guys watch out...They routinely use the media to unload and build massive short positions...They use insider buying and selling also...You have to realize these guys control the markets...One guy controls %1 of the daily Nasdaq volume...Steve Cohen...SAC Trading...And he is a genius...Just be careful how you decipher this info...One last thing when commodities correct they can easily shave off %30- %40 during a correction...Thats why I'm petrified of commodities and always have been....
