John Palizza writes: "Palizza Partners has been in business for six months now and has been gradually building momentum (emphasis on gradually). The international side of my business is doing well, with a nice relationship with a London firm to do marketing and market research, and an upcoming seminar assignment in Singapore.

Along those lines, check out my blog, Investor Relations Musings, where I try to bring a bit of humor to the interplay between investors and corporations (a sorely underrepresented topic). My latest post, 'The Road Show Blues' can be found at investorrelationsmusings.blogspot.com.

"I am also happy to report that I have recently been appointed as a lecturer in investor relations at the Jones Business School at Rice University for the full-time MBA students. It is a part-time appointment, but something that I really excited about. I trust you are well and will let me know what you are up to."
