1/To all my friends on #FinTwit, I kid around a lot on here because life should always have room for laughter, but I've just seen something that reminded me we all need to be absolutely serious, sober and realistic when evaluating investment opportunities, especially those
2/ that stray from basic long-only, non-leveraged strategies. I know so many talented investors in non-conventional strategies, and am not at all opposed to them, but please, please do your homework thoroughly before investing your money with *any* outside manager,
3/ my firm included. There are serious risks involved with any risk assets, and you've really got to do a deep vetting of any firm you're thinking about giving your hard earned money. If you don't feel qualified to do it on your own, by all means hire a qualified advisor to do
4/ it on your behalf. #FinTwit is a great community to learn and gain exposure to lots of great investment ideas and methods, but always stay aware that there are a lot of strategies that take huge risks and can sometimes have catastrophic consequences. Stay safe out there.
