The last few months have been a traumatic affair. Redemptions, irritating regulatory returns, the death of exit strategies, a demise in leverage, an explosion in health and safety legislation, a lack of alpha and a general gnawing away by the media. My hedge fund lifestyle is being challenged from all angles.
Having written this newsletter every business day for over 2 and half years - more than the expected life of an average hedge fund - my brain has had enough. Readers from the start know I have a love of fishing, a desire to become a monk and a yearning for spiritual enlightenment.
So here is the deal. For the next 4 weeks, Finbar Taggit is going away. Everything is being turned into Euros. His staff alerted. Spam filters looking forward to a respite. Having examined a number of lifestyles, his chosen route is that of the Kabbalah so beloved of the great and the good - including Madonna. He will be enjoying a residential course in New York where the joys of life will be expounded and his wallet emptied of a few dollars.
He may blog but this is unlikely. For those in need of a Fintag fix, can I point you to the archives? These contain many of the same rants and opinions and lots of gossip that have subsequently become true. Trawling through the repeats can be as cathartic as experiencing the daily newsletter.
But let's not get maudlin. It has been fun seeing the number of readers expand from a handful to tens of thousands. The comments bewilder me and the emails tell me things that I shouldn't be party too. [Editor: Great. I get a 4 week holiday too] And the great thing is I will be back. Refreshed. Enriched. And ready to put the world to rights.
Be good.

I think Finbar will be using the Beauchump Hedge Fund Autopilot function to manage his portfolio while he's away.
What is going on with Lehman's share price? They seem to be concerned as they've fixed their share price at $20 for all stock awards granted to existing staff at the end of 08. Currently $14.15

Ooh that was a slap. Anon, I think that's slightly unfair: Fin is doing what many of you hard working men forget to do which is getting some perspective from the outside.

My arabic writing is not great, but I could give it a shot...

i suppose it was getting a bit boring for Fintag: economy, stock market, morality, down, down, down, more lying bankers, more than yesterday, more tomorrow. Who will be first, who has the biggest writeoff and gets the biggest handshake.. Yawn.
We should have known something was amiss when the cartoons became more impressive.

Madeupname said ...
The fact that you anonymouses (can't you make up a pretend name?) keep turning up to remind the rest of us that that you are completely unable to interpret financial info without Fin, suggests that this blog is far from dead, no?
Bloggers do it for free and most bloggers do take breaks. Some bloggers have stand ins but since you evidently come for Fin's learned take on things, then he can't have a stand in. But he's having a holiday. Get over it.
28 Jul 08 - 16:03 gmt
MsR said ...
While my pal Fin is chatting up aimless wealthy people on his Kabbalah course (see there is method in his madness) here are some things I have found for you to discuss:
Merrill Lynch announcement UK govt attempts to kick start mortgage market...discuss Hedge Funds head for Asia...esp Singapore..you could go there too. . New book: When Markets Collide...written by a clever bloke. Assuming you've read Black Swan.
29 Jul 08 - 08:49 gmt
anonymous said ...
But the Black Swan was not written by a clever bloke
29 Jul 08 - 13:49 gmt
MsR said ...
Anonymous...this kind of micro-pickery (TM) is not very clever is it? Note that Ms R did not say Black Swan was written by a clever bloke. Analysis requires the ability to screen out your desired perceptions of what is there. J'ai raison, non?

To the Anon who said The Black Swan was not written by a clever bloke...despite the general public latching onto this book and it now being overly quoted, it is a good work, solidly based in real world statistics and at the least - challenging. I would bet my house Nassim Taleb is more of a clever bloke than you.
29 Jul 08 - 15:21 gmt

Moron - shut up. You're boring and your views ar idiotic

Moron said ...
ok...then i'll shut up...no problem:)
29 Jul 08 - 15:41 gmt
Ms R said ...
Anon- re Black Swan..I think you're right about the fact that it being quoted may have popularised it over much so people become blase. And like all good ideas, much of what he says is very obvious. But only because he says it. It's like Freakonomics. You read it and think, "Why didn't that occur to me?"
Because these people are clever.
Let's face it, it's easy to put people down. And hard to write a book.

Moron said ...
Ms R rocks!

Taleb's earlier book "Fooled by Randomness" was a far better read than ranty "Black Swan"...
29 Jul 08 - 23:31 gmt
Ms R said ...
Vp: Agreed. Having written books and knowing how publishers work I suspect that after the success of the first one, they hurried the second one..and he hurried it too. I still like the content but think you're spot on about the tone.

30 Jul 08 - 08:43 gmt
Ms R said ...
Scared him? Goodness no, I sent him away:) It was my fault.
Pushed him out of the 600 thread count sheets, gave him a copy of Zen and The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance and told him to find his inner hippie after he whinged about my boho lifestyle.
Perhaps I went too far...still they say you have to set them free and see if they come back.
Plus at least now I can get on with some work:)
30 Jul 08 - 09:03 gmt

Anyway, where the flip is Fintag?
30 Jul 08 - 11:54 gmt
anonymous said ...
Taleb deserves credit for writing a book that explains statistical inference and probability theory to the general public. However, it is wrong of him to claim credit for concepts that academics and many risk managers (for that matter) have recognised for decades. Also its easier to talk about these concepts than make money out of them. He has made loads out of selling books but nothing out of running moeny!

Fake Ms R again. What is it with you bozos? Fin will ban you no doubt given that they are chums.

A strange Wildean fantasy: perhaps the imposter thinks if he's Ms R he can get closer to Fin.

Albourne's alright for hedge fund info. Depends what you are after. For what it's worth I think the new NakedHedge.com website is pretty much the best hedge fund resource out there.

That was a shameless promotion of your own website. More like whatacompletepileofpoo.com.
