Bloomberg Television reports that hedge funds suffered losses on both long positions and crowded short bets during Thursday’s selloff.

The speaker links the breadth of losses to adverse correlations and highlights concentrated leverage. He doubts a new investment approach could absorb the capital deployed by an industry approaching $5,500,000,000,000.
