Capital Call: Launched Anti-Phony Innocence Fund IV - Min $5m - No Ivy League bastards; PM me for NDA

If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is Caulfield Capital's strategy, and how much we launched with, and how much I got from the friends and family round, and all that David Rubenstein kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it if you want to know the truth.

In the first place, pitching myself bores me, and in the second place, my investors would have about two hemorrhages apiece if I told anything pretty proprietary about our strategy.

They're quite touchy about anything like that, especially my biggest LP. They're risk tolerant and all - I'm not saying that - but they're also nosy as hell. Besides, I'm not going to tell you my whole goddam track record or anything. I'll just tell you about this margin call that happened to me around last earnings season just before I got a pretty bad drawdown and had to liquidate Phoebe's Fund III and take it easy.

I mean that's all I told D.B. (Deutsche Bank) about, and they're my prime broker and all. They're at 60 Wall. That isn't too far from this crumby trading floor, and the institutional sales bastards come over and visit me practically every opening bell.
