We were short oil and long the U.S. dollar, so we fared better than the broad asset class, though the tide of broader market price declines ultimately left us swimming upstream, i am extremely grateful that I was given the opportunity to manage client assets, and that I was able to do it for as long as I have. I couldn't have done it without standing on the shoulders of giants, including my now deceased father, prior employers, clients and all those who worked and transacted with me.
