About Me

• I have been happily married to Judith Fagen Coleman for twenty-nine years and we have a delightful twenty-four year-old daughter. After I received my B.A. from Amherst College in 1978, I earned an M.B.A. from Stanford University, Graduate School of Business in 1980. I am a life member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. I have been ranked by PENSIONS & INVESTMENTS Magazine as one of best overall equity managers in the USA. I succeed because I buy Blue Chip Stocks and behave like a long-term investor. In 1994, I founded and became the majority shareholder of Daedalus Capital, L.L.C., a Chicago, IL-based equity management firm. I have served as the Chief Investment Officer of Daedalus since inception. Daedalus' annualized return since 1994 is 23%. Daedalus' annualized return for the past five years is 34% as of December 31, 2012. For the five-year period ending September 30, 2012, every separate account client of Daedalus Capital, L.L.C. earned at least a double on their investment at a time that most describe as the worst stock market since the Great Depression. That Black Studies degree from Amherst College set me up for life! Thanks.

STEPHEN MESSIAH COLEMAN MEMORIAL

STEPHEN M. COLEMAN MEMORIAL I thank God for the beauty, for the pageantry , the soulful symmetry of the St. Louis, Missouri, Memorial Service for my beloved younger brother Stephen Messiah Coleman, held yesterday, May 7, 2017, at the Unity Church at Washington U. Seeing old friends, visiting family and revisiting familiar places and memories perfectly presaged for me what was most moving, holy. The "home-going" ceremony itself that was masterfully officiated by my dear beloved brother, from/by another mother and father, Charles Homer Thomas, of: Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, San Francisco, Philadelphia, television news media. The Omega Psi Phi Memorial Service that was preliminary to other program events, richly paid tribute to its departed lifetime member, Stephen M. Coleman, whose two blood brothers Anthony and Edwin Coleman, also served as fraternal ritualists, appropriately. Stevielynn Coleman, "Daddy's little girl ," recited a moving encomium to her Dad, accenting every range of emotion yet ending in gratitude. Mrs. Pamela Coleman Chance , vocalists Wesley Johnson and Alvin Coleman, silhouetted the "Now I See," eulogy that was delivered by Rev. Edwin Martin Coleman that also was profoundly, memorable, moving. Even the repast rocked in the basement with fried chicken! Thank Goodness and thank God!
