Diversions: Wild is the wind

Just had a fabulously productive day at work (meaning I got a long way towards some money-making ideas).

And for that I am happy enough for now.

So I am indulging in diversions:

  1. Best album of all time! (I run a small credit fund, it's rare to find myself agreeing with someone from equity-land but on this one you're right on the money)

  2. For and equity guy I am kind of respectful of credit guys. They at least think of the downside more than us equity guys and that is constructive.

    And yes - it is a great album.

  3. Gosh, John, I am Russian (which is to say, different and deep enough culture), young, and this parrot thing already looks a little bit worn out.
    Brilliant indeed but worn out.
    Worn out, but indeed brilliant.

    As a shameless plug for abovementioned culture, have you tried Leonid Gaidai's comedies?

    Regards,
    Dmitry.

  4. Cheers, John,

    If I recall, I actually went out to buy this album (among other Bowie albums) when I was 13! on cassette! Have been throwing a music link or two into my blog/twitter recently...to be met with stunning silence. So good on ya!

    Thanks for the blog too, a lot of v interesting posts to think about, and really helps to think about possible shorts (really not a lot of useful commentary/advice out there on the subject, in my opinion).

    Cheers,

  5. Warning SleepingMan!
    You have been spotted!

    Warning John!
    "Running a small credit fund" might understate SleepingMan's credentials.

    Afterthought: Thanks for the musical interlude.

  7. John, Feel free to write extensively about those positions after you've closed them out.

  8. John, I have been reading Bronte's monthly letters. The one question I have is, when you're shorting at what point do you worry your short has become too crowded?

  9. Colin - you have nailed one of our biggest problems.

    If you wish to email me and book a time I will chat through the issues.
