25 most intriguing hedge funds?

Here's the link: http://www.hedgefundreader.com/2007/01/the_25_mos…

The list feels very "I just googled 'hedge fund' and this is what came up." Some of the asset managers aren't even hedge funds in any real sense. Geronimo Financial (#17) operates publicly traded mutual funds for one.

Thoughts?

Maybe if it were the 80's, Pickens would be on that list. Icahn should replace Boone, and Pershing Square or Third Point should replace Pirate.

Citadel, TCI, Sovereign Global Investment (before it closed shop), Tontine, and Appaloosa would also be good candidates for that list.
