MCM's Q108' performance, and introducing our new firm...

Dear MCM Friends,

We closed out Q1 of 2008 on a positive note. Despite not having a research team or a trading desk for the 1st time in my career, MCM's Global Long/Short portfolio compared favorably relative to all of the major US market indices.

MCM's March end and YTD Performance: +2.15% for the YTD (calc. on a gross basis)...

Index Performance for YTD, ended 3/31/08:

Dow Jones Industrial -7.55%
S&P 500 Index -9.92%
Nasdaq Composite -14.07%
Russell 2000 -10.19%

The more important news is that i now have a research team!

We opened our office this afternoon on the edge of Yale's campus, and we're happy to announce that we have started doing business as Research Edge, LLC. Our evolutionary operating system is called Hedgeye.com, and our website splash page launched today in conjunction with the firm's opening.

Your objective feedback throughout this process of innovation has been critical to my decision making, and i am looking forward to keeping our respective dialogues open. My distribution list was under 100 people, and I'll always remember these last 5 months as some of the most enjoyable of my career. Unfortunately, i had to reintroduce the alarm clock to my life again this morning.

Please login to www.Hedgeye.com, sign up, and pass along the good word. I am fired up to be back in a dressing room with a great team!

My new contact info is below.

Many Thanks,
Keith
