A management consultant with degrees in finance and information systems, with an MBA. I’ve seen my stock portfolio halve in value and have contemplated giving up on the capitalist system… but I think there are enough positives out there to not give up hope! Irrational pesmissim is just as powerful as irrational optimism in a bubble. This site is dedicated to being optimistic in the face of adversity (does that really mean irrationally optimistic?) Lets see where we are in a year and have a laugh along the way!
