Rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated. But I can say that starting a hedge fund from scratch is a petit morte of sorts. And dead mean tell no tales, right?

Well, I’m not even sure if I should be speaking about this as the powers that be declared on high that a hedge fund can only be marketed by word-of-mouth and, even then, to “qualified investors” only. But what constitutes word-of-mouth is fuzzy. Let’s all agree that a blog is wordy and mouthy enough.

Besides, all I’m really saying is that Lunaria Capital Management exists. And that the web site is here.?You can’t even get into the web site without registering and establishing that you are qualified first.

But I’m going to be bold for a moment and push the boundaries a little by saying what we have going is very exciting and it really is a dream come true to be in this line of work. Having the chance to bring everything you know to the table is thrilling and I think our investors will reap the benefits of that.

Ok, forgive me but the lawyers tell me I have to say this:
