Industry PulseHedge Fund Industry Pulse Check(http://HedgeFundBlogger.com) I was on the phone yesterday with a hedge fund investor who said he simply could not keep up with all of the news coming out on hedge funds without spending his whole work day tracking it. He wanted to know what to receive a series of updates within a single post.Here is a collection of quotes on the current state of the hedge fund industry:- Hedge-fund manager David Tepper entered the third quarter with $3.1 billion of U.S. stocks and exited with $648 million, selling most holdings to reduce risk and raise cash as carnage spread across the financial markets. “We moved a lot out early because we didn’t want to lose money,” said Tepper, 51, president of Appaloosa Management LP in Chatham, New Jersey.

I warned a week ago that we would face shockingly poor economic data and corporate earnings, which would test the rally's conviction, and I was therefore closing long positions. We have just seen an 18% six-day gain on the Dow dramatically reversed with a 10% two-day slump, despite sustained healing in the credit markets, a new round of rate cuts from the UK to Korea, and change we can believe (but maybe not invest) in.
