I believe that some equity long/short hedge funds have a pretty short time horizon for their investments. This might sound naive but I was wondering how they can operate like this. Especially for the funds that focus on getting earnings right - I find that near impossible to call.
I understand that it can be expensive to hold a short position and so it makes sense to not hold a position for too long.
