For all intents and purposes, on November 13, 2008, my Wall St. career came to an end. I'll post more later with reflections on my career, but I wanted to mark this moment in time.
I do think I'll continue to actively manage a portion of my own money to take advantage of my unique insights and the skill set I have built over time. However, I don't see myself returning in a professional capacity for three reasons: 1) I believe the Wall St./wealth creation game is dead for many years; 2) I recognize and am no longer willing to make the quality of life sacrifices required to succeed in the business; and 3) I want to put my money where my mouth is and do something more beneficial for society.
Of course you can never say never, but I feel like I am ready for the next phase of my life.
Stay tuned.
