Hello everyone! As had been announced by Phillip a few days ago, this blog was sold and I consider myself fortunate to have been able to buy this blog. In fact, I work in the investment field, have done my CFA exams (for those of you who’ve heard about it) and was thinking about launching an investment blog to discuss some of my ideas, strategies as well as thoughts on what’s going on in the markets (especially right now, I’m not short of ideas!). As I was thinking about starting my blog, I saw this one, that has a solid foundation and many great ideas and decided to go in this direction instead. I should be blogging 3 times per week or so depending on what’s happening in the markets, etc. I hope you will stick around!!

Without giving out too many details to start off, I work in/close to the hedge fund industry, which has been in many ways in the centre of everything that has been happening in the financial markets over the past few months. The major banks and investment banks (no difference any more since there are no more “investment banks”) had many internal hedge funds that were (and still are in most cases although less so) leveraged to the point that small losses had huge impacts.

Anyway, that is a little bit about me, I hope you will be part of this new adventure, I’m very excited about this blog, and about expressing my views and ideas, I hope you are as much as I am!
