Tano Capital Roundtable: “Sing For Your Supper”

We thought it would be fun to put together a virtual round table discussion featuring three hypothetical investors spanning the globe-- one Asian based (Asia), one European based (Euro), and one US based (USA). Each jurisdiction has its own particular set of local issues, and we thought it would be fun to try to compare and contrast how a hypothetical sophisticated institutional investor from each of these jurisdictions might look at the world, in terms of both similarities and differences. Here is our attempt to do so, we hope you enjoy!!

Tano Capital Commentary: September 2009

Those of you who actually read our email updates may remember we penned a fairly bullish piece back in February. We reference our (in hindsight) fortunate call to go long--not to thump our chest proudly, for telling fortunes and forecasting markets is a slippery business at best—but to inform you that we have of late begun to develop yet another conviction that leans very much in the opposite direction.

Tano Capital Commentary: February 2009

As 2008 wound to a close, we heaved a collective sigh of relief here at Tano Capital. While we are not certain at all about what 2009 will bring, the one certainty we do believe is that it cannot be any worse than 2008.

At first glance, it certainly would be hard to argue that we are in the throes of another market crash the likes of which we have not seen since 1929.
