Over the past several months there has been a few times when the words "hedge funds" have been mentioned in relation to the forclosure issues facing the US. While I learned about these funds years ago, I am not so sure that the majority of indivuduals truely understand what they are and how they play in the market so I would like to open a discussion here for those of you who may not understand them and those of you who do to share information to enlighten us all.

As a precurser to this I have found an excellent site that tries to provide an easy to understand explination of what a "hedge fund" is and how and who invests in them. I would suggest you read this article first and then post your questions here so that others may offer insight, opinion, and information that may be of service to us all.
