  24-07-2016 20:41 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  When hedge fund investments go sour, Andrew Lawrence will sweeten things up.
  Lawrence is the CEO of Rosebrook Capital Partners, a firm that buys positions in hedge funds from investors who — for one reason or another — need their money back fast.
  Consider a recent pitch that Lawrence heard from an investor in Visium Asset Management, the one-time $8 billion firm that is shutting down amid an insider-trading investigation.
  The investor was looking to sell their stake in Visium's Balan

• Morgan Stanley thinks everyone else is too bullish on the world

  24-07-2016 19:30 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  Morgan Stanley analysts are more bearish on the global economy than everyone else. 
  "We expect global growth to be below consensus estimates in 2H16 and 2017," the firm's Chetan Ahya wrote in the Global Macro Summer Outlook published on Sunday.
  They estimate a slowdown to 2.9% annual growth in 2016, worse than the consensus call for 3.1%. Their call for an improvement to 3.2% next year is not as high as the 3.6% pace others estimate. 
  Global growth would continue to be sluggi

• The new 'Star Trek' wins the weekend box office, but performs below expectations

  24-07-2016 17:30 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  It looks like the Trekkies came out in force to support the latest movie highlighting the voyages of the USS Enterprise, "Star Trek Beyond," as it won the weekend with an estimated $59.6 million, according to Variety.
  However, it would have been better for the film's studio, Paramount, if a few more outside of the fan base showed up this weekend, as "Beyond" has the lowest opening weekend out of the two previous "Trek" releases in this most recent reboot of the sci-fi franchise.
  With a $185 mill

• There's a mad rush for housing like we haven't seen since the end of the financial crisis (Z)

  24-07-2016 12:00 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  It hasn't been this tough to be in the housing market since the financial crisis.
  To recap the problem, the supply of housing, especially in the affordable entry-level segment, is not keeping up with huge demand from first-time buyers and existing homeowners looking to upgrade. 
  Zillow's latest Real Estate Market Report released on Friday shows that homes are selling faster than they have at any time since 2010.

• Hong Kong is ‘stuck between a rock and a hard place’

  24-07-2016 02:06 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  Hong Kong’s economy can’t hold on for much longer.For one thing, the territory is in the midst of two large bubbles. One is a credit bubble, similar to the one in China. Since 2008, the ratio of private nonfinancial credit to GDP has surged to 281% in Hong Kong.
  The other is Hong Kong’s infamous property bubble. Since 2008, property prices have risen 105%. Prices peaked in August of last year, and have been declining since — a correction of 14% that has put the property m

• There's something surreal going on in the market

  24-07-2016 00:44 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  There's something surreal going on in the market.
  The bond market has exploded in size, and yet market-makers — firms charged with making sure buyers and sellers can get the trades they need — are holding fewer bonds on their balance sheet, which makes life difficult for investors looking to make big trades.
  That means that liquidity, or the ease with which investors can buy and sell positions, has deteriorated. 
  And it has now gotten so bad that liquidity in the credit market
