For the first time in a very long time, actually ever, Abnormal Returns is on hiatus for the week.  In the meantime I wanted to continue to provide our readers with some interesting content. To that end I asked some independent investment bloggers five questions.  We will publishing the answers daily throughout the week.  Please feel free to add your own answers in the comments below.

Check out the answers to our Wednesday question -  If you had to put your portfolio into a blind trust who (any investor/trader/institution) would you hire to manage it?

Thursday – If you could only read one blog, not Abnormal Returns, what would it be?
