According to a new study just 11 percent of hedge funds are beating the S&P 500 this year.

That's 11 percent.
And with the historically turbulent months of September and October right around the corner, we can only imagine what’s happening behind closed doors.
But why imagine. Top trader Josh Brown reveals exactly what’s happening inside their hallowed walls.
