To Link In, or Not to Link In – This Is Part Two
October 31, 2011
First, I apologize for not writing over the last couple of weeks. I’ve been preoccupied with finishing the Second Edition of The Fundamentals of Hedge Fund Management. I handed in the book today, so now I have plenty of time to resume my blogging activities. Also, I apologize for the last post being one about Star Jones. Okay, now that I have completed the pleasantries, on to business: They say that if you live long enough, you’ll experience everything. Well, a week ago, it happened.
I got a very simple, not elegant, email from someone I went to college with. I knew the person, not well; I don’t think I spoke with her more than once or twice in the four years I was at Clark. Nonetheless, she emailed me about a business opportunity. Being the curious person I am, I emailed her back and told her to give me a call. What a mistake. It turns out that she’s an unhappy schoolteacher who has decided to get into reselling electricity. According to her, it is a great opportunity and if I had thirty minutes she could come by the house and explain how I too could get in on this ground-floor opportunity.
Needless to say, I passed. Do I need to say more about Linking In or not? I don’t think so.
The good news:
We are about to launch the new HEDGEAnswers portal. After many years of thought, comments and hard work, we’re just a few weeks away from going live. If you’re interested in being part of the beta of the new site, please contact me.
The next HEDGEAnswers Conference Call is scheduled for November 16 at 10 a.m. The recent news coming out of the SEC and the… Read More »
What a bunch of nonsense…
November 29, 2011
Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Twofer Tuesdays, Wacky Wednesdays and Thirsty Thursdays. What a bunch of nonsense!
Things are in a sorry state when the lead story on the news is how much more crap was sold this year than last and how buying stuff is going to stave off the double-dip recession, increase employment and fix all that ails the economy. I don’t know about you, but I am sick and tired of hearing that the only thing we can do to fix the economy is to spend money. Buy this or buy that and through this unselfish act the world will be a better place. I say baloney…
We need to get people back to work. We need to retrain workers, prepare students and get people thinking about putting in a day's work to provide for their families. Just buying stuff is not going to get the job done. Education, retraining and commitment to job growth are the only things that will get this country moving again. Buying stuff is just throwing good money after bad and putting off the inevitable.
HEDGEAnswers' next Launch Session Call is December 7 at 10 a.m. The call has been rescheduled from November because of a death in the family. There is still plenty of time to get in on the discussion. Click Here to register. The call is going to be chock full of information on how to launch and grow a successful fund. Don't delay register today!
