Deep Market Thoughts…Tensions are High
Whether you are invested in the stock market or not, tensions are high around America. Not chaos high, like I was blogging a few days ago, but pretty fre^#%%&ing high. I spent yesterday running around Manhattan to meetings and got some very differing reactions to how to operate within the crisis. They were all fantastic …
Deep Market Thoughts…Is it Time to Get Greedy?

Is There a CHAOS 'Tipping Point'?

How Hungry Are You?

Twitter Files for an IPO….‘TWEET’ as the Ticker Symbol?
I am starting this rumor if only for the reason to get some smart people talking about moving fucking forward with our public and private markets already. Who cares that Twitter is not making money. Now is the perfect time for their IPO. At a time when ‘Too Big to Fail’ is the myth, Twitter …
The World is Upside Down…Seriously
Jet planes are crash landing in water with everybody surviving. The Cardinals covered in the Superbowl. The Cardinals made the playoffs? How is Nancy Pelosi not in an asylum?
