hedge explanation Dec 30, 10, 5:14 p.m.

I feel like I should explain my erratic and possibly inappropriate behavior that occurred a few years ago when I was active here.

I was going through a lot during that chapter of my life. Without going into too great of detail, it was very emotionally draining and it sort of compelled me to brag about certain good things in my life to compensate for the bad things going on. The latter involved a girlfriend of mine that I had been with for 6 years.

But!!! that is all over with. I'm back on QBN with a vengeance. A good vengeance. I'm looking forward to integrating once again with the QBN community.

How diverse is our little community? Where does everybody hail from? What languages do you speak?

I was born in Albania dhe unë flas rrjedhshëm shqip. I moved to US and live in NY. Languages that I'm fluent in are Albanian, English, Macedonian, and a little bit of Serbian. I'm also learning Italian.

South Ossetia Aug 26, 08, 11:49 a.m.

South Ossetia and its citizens are a part of Georgia and rightly should be. Russia's recent actions against Georgia are a gross violation of basic human rights and they warrant a militaristic response in my opinion.

Sound advice for those of you looking for speculative plays in the anal ring toss sector.

hedge realization Aug 19, 08, 12:21 p.m.

As I was on my way back from lunch with a senator regarding potential future legislation, I realized something. Maybe the people of QBN actually don't want to hear about my seven figure salary. Perhaps they're not interested in knowing about my $2.4m Manhattan apartment, my cabin in Aspen, or the new Bugatti parked outside of my condo in LA. It's possible that they're tired of hearing about my black patent calf leather shoes from Hugo Boss, my tailored Armani suit or my slightly dated gold Rolex watch.

Could this be the case or am I way off base here?

starting another fund Aug 18, 08, 2:13 p.m.

I'm considering creating a second fund soon. It would be a 130/30 fund of funds. The thing is most of my institutional investors are staying invested in my original hedge fund. Would anyone be interested in a prospectus?

You must, however, be an accredited investor to be considered: a net worth exceeding $1 million, personal income of $200k+, etc. Check the SEC Rule 501 of Regulation D if you are unsure.

So get this... Aug 17, 08, 5:38 p.m.

Last night Scott Montgomery, who works at JP Morgan as an investment banker (lol #1), walks over to our table wearing a double-breasted navy blue blazer with mock-tortoiseshell buttons, a prewashed wrinkled-cotton striped dress shirt with red accent stitching, a red, white and blue fireworks-print silk tie by Hugo Boss and plum washed-wool trousers with a quadruple-pleated front and slashed pockets by Lazo. (lol #2)

He's holding a glass of champagne and hands it to the girl he's with - definite model type, thin, okay tits, no ass, high heels - and she's wearing a wool-crepe skirt and a wool and cashmere velour jacket and draped over her arm is a wool and cashmere velour coat, all by Louis Dell'Olio. High-heeled shoes by Susan Bennis Warren Edwards. Glasses by Alain Mikli. Pressed-leather bag from Hermès.

Can you guys believe that? The brokers and I just exchanged compliments on our attire and moved along to discuss the new Price account handler; one none other than Scott.

a big dilemma Aug 15, 08, 6:04 p.m.

Inheritance. How much of your fortunes will you all be leaving to your offspring? Personally, I will try to find a good balance between giving my fortune to charity versus giving to my children. If you give your kids everything they desire they will never have a drive to succeed.

$ = me? Aug 14, 08, 12:02 p.m.

Guess how much I made in the month of July.

Life... Aug 13, 08, 3:28 p.m.

It's great right now. I'm taking a much needed fishing excursion to Iceland this month and the summer has been a very profitable one for the fund. We've signed on three new investors, two of which are whales, and we're constantly growing. We just hit the $200 million dollar mark in capital under management last week too.

How are your lives going this summer?
