I Have a New Opening for the Mad Hedge Fund Trader Concierge Service 

Our latest performance run for the ages has delivered unintended consequences once again. One of my Concierge clients bought the bottom of the recent banking crisis crash to load the boat with bank stocks. As a result, he never has to work again, not bad for someone who is only 45.
