Hi. I came across your blog as a result of your short position on Netgear, and have been reading back entries as far as here! I found it all very interesting, and all credit to you for posting on a serious loss (MF).
I have been long on NTGR for past two years and I think the setback is temporary – IMV the market for home/ small business wireless networks looks as though its a one way bet, at least for the next few years, and NTGR is on a very undemanding forward PE ratio of 20 ish. I quite like the solar sector too (particularly STP which you have highlighted) now that the bubble has burst and prices look more realistic. Regds etc.

sorry about that – not sure exactly what it was. I recently started using wordpress and a new host so i’m figuring out how everything works. Shoot me an email if you see it that way again and I’ll see what I can do.

I would definitely say it is more stressful to invest other’s assets than my own. If this is not true, then I think a manager is not taking the responsibility seriously enough. I have to always keep in mind that this money is hard earned money my clients have saved for retirement or their own financial goals and the trust that they put in me should be respected. I never want to put my clients in a place where they move from a financially secure place to questioning their security because of a decision I have made. That is why risk control is of paramount importance.

Sorry about the blue and black. I’m going to try to get it changed this weekend. Thanks for letting me know.

How do you feel when you invest your clients assets? Is more or less stressful then your own money? I’m just trying to figure that out.

Thanks for your interesting blog.

Note OT: I have problem to read the blue letters on black background.
Are you sure is the best alliance?
