Beginning of HOPE

HOPE is born!

What is HOPE?
It is a fund, namely 'High Opportunity Private Equity' Fund. Therefore HOPE Fund. Created and managed by me and officially launched today.

From my 1 year in Australia, i was able to made some study and insight into the Australian Equity Market and at the meantime profit a little from it. I had always been aspiring to be a portfolio manager and manage a fund by myself. So to start off, i made a courageous decision this year. To start a small, private equity fund and manage it myself. I have been reluctant to do so, much more to advertise or announce it here but i know i have to. Because by doing so, i made it serious, i made it real. There will no longer be any excuse for me to procrastinate or to postpone the launching of this fund anymore.

It is officially opened now and it will be closed by 1st March 2010. I will not post much details here because I'm not very interested in advertising or selling this fund. It is somewhat just a test of my capabilities before i decide that if this is a path i will and should pursue. This is also to inform those who believe in me or are seeking a opportunity to get involve. So for those who are really interested, leave a message here or in my facebook and i will send a copy of the details to you.

So now you all know what i was being busy the whole time eh?

The peach blossom poem

A poem i loved and live by.

《桃花庵》

桃花坞里桃花庵,桃花庵里桃花仙。

桃花仙人种桃树,又摘桃花换酒钱。

酒醒只在花前坐,酒醉还来花下眠。

半醒半醉日复日,花落花开年复年。

但愿老死花酒间, 不愿鞠躬车马前。

车尘马足贵者趣,酒盏花枝贫者缘。

若将宝贵比贫者,一在平地一在天。

若将贫贱比车马,他得驱驰我得闲。

别人笑我忒疯癫,我笑别人看不穿。

不见五陵豪杰墓,无花无酒锄作田 。
