I Feel So Loved

It has been a while since last post, but not for lack of material. In some ways it was the volume of important topics being mixed in with the banal that caused my absence. I, the slow calculating (but predominantly just slow) analyst, decided to sit on the sidelines a bit. This strategy was pretty much reflected in my investments - my watch list grew long while actual positions (whether actual or planned) were rather lacking. Apparently I missed a mini-rally; but that probably means I also missed the mini-collapse of that mini-rally. Cest la vie.

In the meantime, I find myself becoming more involved in recruitment, both in an official Rockett Bank role, as recruiter/interviewer for the famed Rockett Bank graduate program, and increasingly as an unofficial referee - and a few times, even by people I don't even know. Who knew that simply having a pulse could make you popular.

If market data continue to be convoluted and companies continue to make stupid but rather boring gaffes, then my plan is to do a short blog on each role.
