2009 Cya

Its almost over.
A year like none other - insane highs and lows - S&P 666 to S&P 1124 - people lining up to pull money out of banks, storied institutions vanished (or at least their equity did) think , FNM, FRE, CIT, Lehman etc....and others have vaulted to the top of the business totem poll, AMZN, AAPL, GOOG etc.
Personally this has been a great year and a tuff year - we successfully launched a hedgefund as the world was vomiting risk - we started off with great returns , but as volatility waned in the market place we took it on the chin - especially the last few weeks.
Next year will be different that much I know for sure. New Years also happens to my birthday - another year older - hopefully a bit wiser.

Have a great New Year
