And we got introduced and I was already doing research in the area and we just totally hit it off, had very similar concepts, started working together.

Everything's quantitative.

So it's all about statistical and mathematical risk management systems is the proper way to manage money.

And, you know, we had just both been developing stuff on our own that was remarkably similar.

And we just ran with it.

Well, it was a bunch of different products.

So there was commodities, mutual funds.

I had a long, short equity market neutral for equities.

I did market timing on mutual funds.

I did trading in commodities.

We were profitable in all of them.

I don't know.

It's not my field of expertise.

You're developing a very specialized niche.

It sounds like you might have an edge there that might make good business sense.

And that's the key.

You have to develop an edge that makes good business sense.
