I can’t vote, but declared myself an Obaman. That seems like a long time ago. The problem we face is that we are accelerating out of control. It’s not Obama’s fault and it’s not Obama’s problem to fix. He can’t. Quit hoping for a miracle. I am glad so many million trekked down to hear …

$170 Million for a Party?
Obama has already made a numbskull decision by allowing the 3 day party in his favor. It was layup really to just say no. We have been partying with borrowed money for decades. It would have been a great idea to therefore cancel the first, biggest and dumbest party of the administration for an America …
It's Raining Negativity!
Been working so hard on my portfolio investments and Stocktwits that I have not been in the mood to blog much. There is nothing new to discuss in the stock markets. This Thursday Google reports and until they do I will sit on my hands in technology. Capital One Financial reports which should be comical. …
Twits and Asshats Abound…Let's Toast Them!
You all know how I feel about The Fly’s missives. Despite his horrific temperment and general dislike of human’s, the punk bitch can write prose. Goofing off together we decided to try his prose on web video. I like what we have so far. As usual, a great team effort from some old friends Jon …
Community is the NEW Capitalism…Thanks Twitter and Stocktwits
People always ask…why not StockTWEETS.com and I have to explain that TWITS is better because we are goofing on the real TWITS of finance – CNBC and the rest of the talking heads. Every day we get further proof of the decay of financial journalism. Today’s is the banning of Dan Lyon’s for calling out …
Apple, Amazon and Oil…Start Buying?
I am! I own Amazon, a smidge of Apple and have been selling premium again in Oil. I am a wuss. If I had size of OTHER people’s money I would be more balls to the wall. Tomorrow I will buy more of each. There is one thing I am sure of and that is …
The 'Human Ticker' at Stocktwits
Yesterday morning was another low point for capitalism. I woke up in San Francisco and unfortunately flipped past CNBC. Our YUTZ president was talking about the depression and there was a section of the TV sliced out for the Bernie Madoff ‘Penthouse’ stakeout. At the bottom of the screen a ticker runs that means noting …
Will You Be Pittsburgh or Detroit? AND Please Don't Be Dubai!
My buddy Mike has a fantastic post titled ‘Will you Be Pittsburgh or Detroit‘. Basically, Pittsburgh reinvented themselves. As Mike eloquently states: Many of us are faced with the same issues that Pittsburgh and Detroit faced – unemployment, growing debt, lost wealth, skills that are no longer valued or even needed at all. Quite simply …

Everyone Dies…Not Everyone Lives!
William Wallace the anti-semitic Scottish warrior of Braveheart says it best in my post’s title. So many people are wrapped up in negativity and anxiety. I don’t have the cure, but I sure am trying to live so I stay away from the negativity as much as I can. I had a fantastic time in …
