Yes, Hedge Funds using mostly Credit Default Swaps in their investing strategies.
Let me guess, you read about Ackman's (or Paulson's) big trade and you want to be like him when you grow up?
Good hypothesis. You hit the point! Close to the moguls (think Icahn, Paulson ...).
I feel more confident during bear market and for looking inefficient factors in a company or a sector.
Me too bud. I bought TSLA July 2nd 1200 calls last week and my confidence level is over 9000. Give me my next challenge stock market, I dare you.
step 1) get a job on a credit trading or credit research desk on the sellside at a BB step 2) do well on that desk and build up a track record step 3) get a PM seat at any large MM pod hedge fund (they all have ability to trade credit)
Thank you.

only if the person doing the hiring has a CFA.
