"When you rise in the morning, give thanks for the light, for your life, for your strength. Give thanks for your food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason to give thanks, the fault lies in yourself."
-Tecumseh
Dear Friends,
To say it has been interesting year would be an understatement. Whether it be the U.S. election, the E.U. referendum in the U.K., or various other global Marco surprises, it has been a tough year to manage and interpret.
On some level, all we can really manage is what we and our teams do from day-to-day. In 2016, there were a lot of changes at Hedgeye and most of them involved adding more content to better serve you.
Early in the year we added Potomac Research's policy team to our platform. Then we added Neil Howe, the demographics legend. And finally, into Q4, we added Ami Joseph, who will lead our technology research efforts.
As the dust settles on 2016, we will have grown our revenue year-over-year by almost 40% and our head count has grown to nearly 80 people. It feels like a far cry from 9 years ago when a small group of us were in New Haven touting the idea of Wall Street 2.0.
Regardless of how successful a year it has been for Hedgeye, we realize it is all due to our friends, partners and subscribers. We are lucky to say that in many instances a good portion of you fit into all three categories.
So as the year winds down, we wanted to take a quick opportunity to thank you. We look forward to working with you in 2017 and beyond.
Best regards,
Daryl G. Jones
Director of Research
