I don't need Raisa

Some people will like Raisa for her theatrical beauty
and want to spend a minute to admire as such

but not me...

I don't need Raisa
I need you, and I love you...

My one and only

Mirror...

Aren't you something to admire, 
cause your shine is something like a mirror
And I can't help but notice, 
you reflect in this heart of mine
If you ever feel alone and the glare makes me hard to find
Just know that I'm always parallel on the other side

Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul
I can tell you there's no place we couldn't go
Just put your hand on the glass, 
I'll be tryin' to pull you through
You just gotta be strong

I'm lookin' right at the other half of me
The vacancy that sat in my heart
Is a space that now you hold

It's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me
I couldn't get any bigger
With anyone else beside of me

And now it's clear as this promise
That we're making two reflections into one
Cause it's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me...

Hedge fund and outsourcing service lines... (part 1)

I have been in this business for quite some time, and proven to be, amongst its ups and downs, good and challenging. In early 2008, I was trying to manage the hedge fund of 2 until 3 private investors, and the return is significantly satisfactory, about 33% for each investor each 6 months, till the time the trading company closed down in Dubai. Overall when I close the account, the total return is about 900% from the original investment.

In late 2011, I started again and this time I didn't invite anyone but my younger brother. In the end of H1-2013, our portfolio shows 275% return, better than any kind of conventional investment, such as commodities, properties and estates, etc. Now, what is hedge fund?

Hedge fund is defined as an aggressively managed portfolio of investments that uses advanced investment strategies such as leveraged, long, short and derivative positions in both domestic and international markets with the goal of generating high returns (either in an absolute sense or over a specified market benchmark). Legally, hedge funds are most often set up as private investment partnerships that are open to a limited number of investors and require a very large initial minimum investment. Investments in hedge funds are illiquid as they often require investors keep their money in the fund for at least one year.

Now, my brother is thinking to open an hedge fund service line and shall consult it with me for 'attractive business' to be invested in to yield high return (surely high risk would definitely be always associated with it). He (will) take some high risk taker private investors :)
