Having Dinner In New York With My Old Friend, Mr. Ron Pollack, Part 1
Mar 27 2009, 6:05 PM EDT | Post edited: Mar 27 2009, 6:05 PM EDT
I was in NYC recently, meeting with a potential institutional client for my new hedge fund. Following the meeting, I met up with an old acquaintance, whom I will mention as "Harry", for supper.

Harry is a “Sales Trader”, someone who executes order for institutional customers like hedge funds and mutual funds. He had an extremely successful career, and used to cover me, I was one of his accounts, in my “Ron Pollack Bulldog Days”. He retired or took a break from trading around the same time I did in 2004, but we continued to stay in touch with one another.

Harry had various business adventures after leaving Wall Street as did I, some were unrewarding, others were outright unprofitable. After this, Harry began to miss the game and questioned me about returning to trading. Indeed I missed it too. In early 2008 I informed him I would return to managing money; he was thrilled and was eager to get back into it also.
Do you find this valuable?
