For it being a Tuesday, Cinco de Mayo, and a foggy day in Chicago; we had a great turnout yesterday for a quick event on Alternative Investments. A big shout out to Mike Cavanaugh (@CavyChi) for moderating the event, and adding some humor along the way. For those who didn’t make it to the event, here’s a brief recap via our live tweeting of the event.
