The hedge in front of my house is the bane of my existence.Truly.For most of the time I have lived here, I fretted about the overgrowth of said hedge, and how its gnarly viney leafy ugliness was reflecting on me as the new kid in the 'hood. And, truth be told, my neat freakness OCD started perking up every time I drove into the driveway or looked out the window. I tell you, the thing was that bad... or I need some serious psychiatric help... or maybe a combo.Anyway...About a month ago the hedge got a big ass haircut. It is no longer overgrown. Due to the over zealousness of my hedge chopping crew, all signs of leaf and limb were shorn to the roots. And now, my friends, I am nearly certain that the hedge, by my best estimationisDEAD.Dead, I tell you. Look... an actual unretouched photograph

Hedge Fund InvestorsAttracting Hedge Fund InvestorsI recently received this email...Richard, I am involved in the management of a new hedge fund that we started last year. Our hedge fund's strategy is a combination of stock and derivatives. Our goal is 30%+ growth per year, and thus far, we are right on track. What I wanted to ask you is this: Are these types of earnings competitive within the hedge fund world? If we continue with this kind of performance, would this type of growth be attractive to third party marketers?John, If you could sustain 20%+ returns over 5,7 and 10 years and show positive growth during quarters of negative equity market performance it will help.
