Using this (free) platform to pursue your own personal financial motivation is not what I define as good."General Forum: This is the forum for general quantitative finance banter.

QuoteOriginally posted by: CactusManWell, this is the "General" forum. I think of it like playing golf with the boys. Business inevitably comes up. It is a "Forum" after all. A forum is a place for people to connect on all sorts of things.Actually, I would like to see more of what people are actively engaged in, and discussions of opportunities out there. I would like to see us connecting more and doing more.I think most quants who visit Wilmott will find this dull and not in their remit. As mutley said, you seem to be barking up the wrong tree.A guess is that you need to be contacting wealth funds, not a technical place.A random search top 50 wealth managers

If you find it very upsetting then you might suffer from OCD. Fluoxetine is good for that.

QuoteOriginally posted by: PaulI am a lot more relaxed about this. However I am moving this thread to OT. Ideally we'd have an area just for doing business, but at the moment there's not enough interest in that, I suspect. Which is a shame.PThank you, I understand. Yes, I wish there were a place on Wilmott for business projects. Now, let me say though, you others may be underestimating the number of people in business and banking (all kinds not just quant finance) who visit this site. And think about this, when they make a casual visit, they click on "General Forums" because it is at the top.

Oh, and I was thinking about this. Of course, you are going to have actual business discussed on any forum with long-time members (what we call "Horse Trading" talk where I grew up). Just like you discuss it anywhere else, golf course, resort, while watching the game, or what-have-you.

Oh, here are my areas for those of you who have projects. Just to clarify what I do and don't do.Life Settlements --I have excellent resouces in this area. Investors and insurance experts who can get these policies sold.Oil and Gas --Excellent resources in this area.Hotels and Resorts--Excellent resources, including one of the best-known marketers and managers in the world.Mining--Excellent resources. Clost friends with former CEO of God and Mineral Co., and we are interested in all kinds of projects.Beverages--Excellent resources. Close friends with a major player in this business who actively buys or develops new business.SBLCs --Excellent resources. Especially a group I have in Australia who buys these.Film and Music --Excellent resources (BUT WE ARE LOOKING FOR FINANCING, NOT PROJECTS) including Armand Mastr-ianni, Sunset Pictures, and media veterans. *BUT REMEMBER* we are mainly looking for financing. We do not need film or music projects. We have plenty. However, if you have a project AND have funding, but only lack contacts and experience, then I can hook you up with folks who can make it happen.
