First of all, thanks so much to all the commenters and emails and new readers that keep flowing in…your comments are always read and appreciated and it’s fun to mix it up and goof off a little. I am headed to Toronto for the Summer with the family and will be working from KBC’s Toronto …

Twitter Finance…Oh To Dream! In The Meantime 'StockTweets'
I tried to buy the domain TwitterFinance late last night but it was already taken (not by people at Twitter). The reason I started ‘twittering’ at all last May was for the stock conversation. The nerds have been arguing about Twitter and how it will make money yada yada yada. Dummies. To the nerds Twitter …
If You Could Hate One Stock…
I hate a few. You know them if you read this blog. 1. Best Buy (BBY) 2. Verizon (VZ) 3. Harley Davidson (HOG) 4. Capital One Financial (COF) 5. Gamestop (GME) I hate them for different reasons…Verizon because I am a customer, Best Buy for their pathetic bait and switch financing tactics and financial engineering, …
Deep Market Thoughts…Lot's of Good Ideas
As volatile as the global markets are, there are some stocks outside energy that are working. That said, energy stocks like RIG and RDC are in pullbacks from recent all-time high breakouts. The equipment stocks have been great buys on pullbacks throughout the bull run. I own Coinstar (CSTR) – also Wallstripped – and that’s …
Do Soldiers Care about the Price of Oil?
So many people at home, care where oil will open and close tomorrow. What a clusterfuck, when you think back to how the war got started and where oil was supposed to be today.
Gary Vaynerchuk…How to Build a Personal Brand on The Web – Way to Go
I asked Gary to be on Wallstrip well before Cramer globbed on (linked to Gary’s site many moons ago) and have no idea why that never happened, but kudos to Cramer for getting it and getting a great interview. Gary is just doing it and I can only stand back and admire it. Of course …
The Evolution of Mobile Phones…Early Days Indeed
It’s amazing how ugly phone continue to be. Watching this video brings it home. The iPhone is truly breaking the mold and I would say puts us in the top of the third inning in the mobile revolution. Youu need to be long the winners on weakness.
Debt…Get Yourself Some or Terrorists Win
The good news about debt is … if you die, you win! The Internet Celebrities – Dallas Penn and Rafi Kam are at it again. This is a fantastic short documentary on the world of check cashing: A good punishment for the f#$king bankers in this credit crisis would not be prison, but a term …
Lifelock on Today Show
In response to the recent nasty attacks against Lifelock, Todd Davis appeared this morning with Matt Lauer on The Today Show to explain his company’s side of the story. I am sure of a few things. Ninety (90) plus percent of lawyers add no value at all to our system and is in one of …
Dear Jim Cramer…Stop Spamming Me
Mixed in with the 600 poker, craps, casino and porn email I got today (I respond to all porn inquiries), came another one from my friend Jim Cramer. Whenever I get an email from Jim, I assume it is to chat about Wallstrip’s great Jim Cramer episodes… NOT. It’s way more important: Dear HOWARD, You’re …
