    A Brand Name for a Hedge Fund Happy Hour: Trump’s Mar-a-Lago

    The invitation suggests your run-of-the-mill weekday evening of drinks, canapés and networking for the hedge fund crowd.

    Except for one thing. It’s at the Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Fla.

    In case anyone missed the significance of the site, the invitation offers a helpful clue: “Should the president be in residence, another letter will follow explaining the upgraded entry/security procedures.”

    That’s right, President Trump’s members-only club, which has been called the winter White House, is the location of a “meet and greet” hedge fund event organized by the Palm Beach Hedge Fund Association.

    David S. Goodboy, the association’s founder and the event organizer, is hoping that Mr. Trump will stop by.

    “He is invited. Whether he comes or not is in the air,” Mr. Goodboy said. “I hope so,” he added. “It would be great P.R. for us.”

  5. The Toronto-based hedge fund pitches itself as a firm that uses artificial intelligence to invest in the market. On its website, which is illustrated with what looks like a high-tech crystal ball, it boasts of proprietary technology — called Wallace — that can “predict market events.”

  9. I'm still scratching my head...on what kind of a heck of a last name is GoodBoy :confused:o_O

    Not trying to be sarcastic or anything...but if that is indeed your real last birth name...then, is there like a GoodGirl last name out there as well...
