I love this post from Biggie Smalls re his TEN start-up commandments. You have to have your own style, and I think BIggie is a little extreme, especially where the web is concerned, but you can’t argue with success. My faves: ”Never sell no crack where you rest at” “That credit…forget it”. So true and …

Ring the NASDAQ Closing Bell in Times Square with Stocktwits – August 25
It has been really fun working with Nasdaq on real-time marketing and promotional ideas that bring our community together. Without the power of social media, we could not have come so far so fast. One thing I would like to do – that Nasdaq can actually make possible – is ring the opening/closing bell…something seen …
Keeping the Market Simple…Intel as a 'Tell'
So much discussion about bull/bear, overbought/oversold…I am guilty as well. I was looking at a few old posts from January through March of this year and it is painful to see how right I was and how little I have made. I absolutely nailed the bottom on March 9th and instead of walking away with …
The Case FOR Apple…There is NO Case Against Them
There was ONE case against $aapl, the fact that Steve Jobs was going to die. That storm has passed and even though he will die one day, Apple has just too much momentum for it to matter in the next 3-5 years. Jason has taken a few weeks away from running Mahalo into the ground …
How Much Transparency is Enough in the Markets
The biggest arguments waged on the markets center on transparency these days. Stocktwits is not excluded from this. It seems like until 2005-2006 when financial blogging started to take off, there was NO financial transparency. Nobody seemed to care. The rich poured money into hedge funds since the early 90’s for the ‘priviledge’ of being …
Lifelock Raises Big Round
I love the product and marketing genius of Lifelock and although they have moved from ‘Too Small To Fail’ from when I invested 3 years ago to ‘How Did They Get That Big We Need to Destroy Them’ (Transunion, Equifax et al), it has been a fun and wild ride. Here is the news of …
Stocktwits and Skygrid – A Match Made in Real-Time Financial Heaven
It’s been a fun week at Stocktwits. We are loving the opportunity and possibilities with the Nasdaq as we integrate real-time data and today we are launching a partnership with Skygrid who created a kick-ass real time ticker news/blog search for us. TechCrunch has good coverage (pinch me :) ) We can’t hold your hands …
Stocktwits and The Nasdaq…Bringing Data to the Stocktwits Community
This morning Stocktwits is happy to announce a campaign with The Nasdaq called ‘Data Junkies’. The Nasdaq is a public company $NDAQ and is the original real time data company. Over the next 30-60 days there will be lot’s of cool new partnership features being rolled out by Stocktwits and The Nasdaq. Over our first …
CNBC Dying as Collateral Damage?
I am not sure if CNBC is just killing itself, or people are finally tired of the noise during the financial crisis and just leaving, but according to the latest Nielsen’s Ratings, their viewership is down 28 percent . As I tweeted, this warms my cockles, Tyler’s as well: The bloodbath at GE’s propaganda station …
