Chelsea Clinton's Husband Suffers Massive Hedge Fund Loss On Greek Investment

Despite having Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein as an investor and being Bill and Hillary Clinton's son-in-law, Marc Mezvinsky (and two former colleagues from Goldman Sachs who manage Eaglevale Partners hedge fund) told investors in a letter sent last week they had been "incorrect" on Greece, helping produce losses for the firm’s main fund during two of the past three years. By 'incorrect' Chelsea Clinton's husband means the Eaglevale fund focused on Greece lost a stunning 48% last year and, as The Wall Street Journal reports, is impacting the overall returns of the roughly $400 million fund which has spent 27 of its 34 months in operation below its "high-water mark."

She's no Warren or Sanders, both of whom I prefer, but she is not conservative either. pampango Feb 2015 #30

She's very, very conservative on the most important issues - war and the economy. Scuba Feb 2015 #31

I don't see her record on the economy as conserative but again she is not my favorite. pampango Feb 2015 #32

SANE must be insane. Scuba Feb 2015 #33

It apparently merged with Nuclear Weapons Freeze Campaign to form Peace Action. pampango Feb 2015 #34

I guess advocating for and voting for war is "peaceful" to them. Scuba Feb 2015 #35

She's indisputably Third Way. She voted with her caucus. The Senate is itself conservative. merrily Feb 2015 #37

Perhaps I don't understand all of Third Way's positions but her voting record is pretty liberal. pampango Feb 2015 #41
