End of An Era

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.
