Exactly?
A very smart/savvy person (or an idiot snake oil salesman, who portrays as an expert) has a plan to invest money in a certain way to get larger gains (hopefully) than just playing the market the traditional way.
That person creates a hedge fund, and offers investors to join. Usually this is a private affair, and the HF is a private company itself. So it's invite only, average Joe will not be able to invest with the HF usually.
It's the investors who supply the capital. They bring all the money into the management of the hedge fund. Then the Hedge fund and it's MDs and other employees, they take that money and use the strategy the creator/owner had in mind and they try to make those gains.
HF makes money themselves from their internal capital being invested and seeing gains and profits. HF also makes money of it's investors and their gains, through taking fees for those assets under management.
That's basically it. Technically you can start your own hedge fund if you wanted to, out of your garage. But you'll have to either have millions/billions of your own money to start with, or you'll have to convince millionaire/billionaire types to give you their money to manage. That's the main obstacle that makes it extremely tough to start a HF. Because no one knows you, no one trusts you with that insane wealth.
But when you get to someone famous and trusted, like Madoff.. he was able to scam the whole world for a couple decades because everyone trusted him, he was super respected in the industry. So no one looked at the numbers too closely. They just gave him their money and thought they were making insane profits.

Yeah they’re really nice. I’ve gotten Hello Fresh, then switched to Every Plate because it’s like the cheaper younger brother and it’s pretty convenient. It’s the only thing I ever got that I’ve seen sponsoring YouTubers, so it made me wonder what else is good

It was a rare lunar event on the night where most people would have the most free time. It would have been the perfect Halloween night for everyone to have fun. Instead, they were all stuck at home.

Dr SQUATCH is a great soap and deodorant brand that I’ve seen featured as sponsors. The smell would last literally all day

Baba O'Riley is amazing until the lyrics start. The rest of the song is not terrible but the opening is brilliant and the rest cannot live up to it.
Chariots of Fire has a similar problem. The opening is so amazing the rest of it is a let down.
Putting on the Ritz by Taco has a weird section in the middle.

It's a method of investing where your broker hedges an investment by making trades in another. Put another way, it exists to limit risk while maximizing gains. If everything works out in the market, which is a big IF.
