Letter. His new book, "Absolute
Returns", due out in Q1 of 2003,
will pull back the curtain on the world
of private offerings for individual
investors. (To view some chapters today,
go to (www.absolutereturns.net). John will
make the case that investments which
offer absolute returns will be the
preferred investment vehicle for the rest
of the decade, and that some of the best
sources of absolute returns can be found
in certain hedge fund styles. He will
give an easily understood explanation of
the hedge fund and alternative investment
world, and will help investors navigate
through the various offerings, both
onshore and offshore, to find the right
investment strategies for their
portfolio. (Accredited investors can
