After 2.5 years gone from this blog. I appear to be back. As some of you know, for 18 months of that time, I was buried in the most complex transaction of my life in Cyprus and somehow, after a break of several months, I was never able to get it back to writing.
Something clicked today. I think I will be back. I have a lot to catch up on.
Expect occasional updates as I have time. Please comment!
I apologize for the long delay from polemitis.com. As many of my close friends know, I have been absolutely buried work-wise. One of my friends pointed out in the Fall - these are such dramatic days in finance, why aren't you posting?
This is probably a weak excuse, but to some degree, what need is there to post when suddenly we are watching A-class financial drama on a daily basis?
I have continued to post some of the more interesting articles of my daily reading to http://antonis.polemitis.com.
However, it is that time of year again and wanted to do a few things:
1) How did last year's predictions do?
2) Take a stab at this year's predictions
3) Try to put some context on the year-in-review (we'll see if this happens)
4) Try to give a more detailed updated on the personal side.
Anyway, onward with Part 1 which will be the subject of the next post!
The most common response to my mega Greece basketball post was: "I didn't know about this Galis guy" Youtube to the rescue with a highlight reel of the 1987 European Championship.
It starts off slow and the editing is all cheese, but check out: 2:37, 2:53, 4:42, the latter two being totally ridiculous for a guy his size. (and at 1:37, you also see the current Greek coach and Galis's teammate, Giannakis).
