The finance world rests for the holidays?

I’ve decided to fight boredom here in Croatia with learning how to prepare and cook different kinds of fish for dinner. I’ve especially taken a big interest in in the fresh bluefin tuna in the fish market every morning. For 24 euros this morning, I bought a 2.2 kilo slab of bluefun tuna belly, aka toro. I plan on making some poke from the leaner pieces, sashimi and nigiri from the really fatty belly pieces, and maki rolls with the scraps.

Speaking of boredom, things are relatively quiet in the finance world. There’s always shit to do at a startup like Secfi, so it hasn’t been a vacation, but it’s definitely a bit quiet compared to some years. The bankers have seemed to call it for a year as the IPO window is shut down. Investors seem to be taking some extended breaks as we head into Thanksgiving.

There are of course, always deals to be done and we’re fortunate to be in a great position to close out the year strong at Secfi. As always, I expect there to be a pickup in activity post-Thanksgiving as people rush to get things done before year-end.

We’ll see what the next month and half brings.
