While keeping our fingers on the pulse i.e. new rules that will enable hedge funds and other investment vehicles to leverage marcom and advertising schemes in the course of soliciting investors and enhance their brands, latest self-promo blog posting from HedgeCo,net, a 3rd party marketing platform, makes for an interesting read:

Words of wisdom for deep-pocketed, fast-action hedge fund managers from one of our favorite gurus--and one that works with many alpha-types in the financial world: be careful what you wish for.
