Of excitement and regret
It is with decidedly mixed emotions that I report that Event Horizon Research will be tenderly and proverbially, covered in bubble wrap and placed in storage. EHR will no longer provide economic and market analysis, advice and strategy – either in written or verbal form. I would to thank our clients and readers. It has been a wonderfully enjoyable ride.
The reason for shuttering EHR is that I have decided to return to the buy-side. As excited as I am about the position I will accept and the organisation I will be joining, I still feel sadness at closing EHR. On one level, when you pour your energy into building a venture from the ground-up you come to think of your creation as somehow, organic. A second, and much more prosaic reason for my maudlin mood is the realisation that the balance of probabilities suggest that in my new institution, I will no longer have the option of deciding to work in my underpants.

A third source of poignancy is that I will not be able to update the analytical narratives I had been building.
