About

I once ran a blog started in early 2005 that tried to warn readers about the then frothing credit bubble, and how it would lead to economic ruin for those who refused to acknowledge and act on the problem.

That blog was an offshoot of a regular newsletters I wrote to private clients dating back to 2001.  In those, I stated clearly and very early on that official policy reactions to the dot-com crash would create an echo-cataclysm; one that would make the collapse of the economy around the dot-coms and the broader tech sector seem mild by comparison.

Those were my days as an independent consultant and head of investment strategy at my old firm;  that status changed a few years ago. I took on a new position where my identity must remain anonymous, and old, other blog remains the property of my former firm and its brand where it unfortunately sits idle.

Thus, Los FunkyTown is my new venture a lengthy hiatus. So here I post the blunt, cold truth — Only truthier than before since it will no longer be couched in lighter language deliberately bridled to offend the sensitivities of clients and prospective clients alike.

Welcome and enjoy.
