Stocktwits Raises Series C Round
We have closed a fresh round of funding with our existing investors led by Foundry and True Ventures. Though we have plenty of capital, we have plenty of things on our to-do list. We have also had the privilege of getting wiser about what people want and need. It felt like the right time to …

Absolutely. First of all, I have no idea what I am really doing and I live on Coronado, the greatest place in America, maybe the world. I am surrounded by war ships and Navy seals. Second, the biggest building on my island is a Bank Of America $BAC. The only part of the building they …
The Mystery and Madness of Momentum…and The Stocktwits 50
Momentum is a mystery to me. It is also maddening. I mean both in a fantastic and exciting way. Embracing the possibility of ‘who knows’ is a miraculous thing if you want to ‘Momentum Invest’.

Stocktwits as The American Idol of Finance
Last week my friend and super talented The Reformed Broker (Josh) hosted Stocktwits/CNN new show called the ‘Bullhorn’. What was fun is that the show now had two people from the Stocktwits community as the guests as CNN last us have the show. CNN has been very open about the power of Stocktwits ‘The Human …
Double Barrel Phone – The HTC Incredible Droid and iPhone4 are the New MUST’s for Entrepreneurs
I once wrote that I would never leave my Blackberry $RIMM. You would have to pry it out of my cold, dead hands. Never say never. On Friday I ditched the Blackberry for The HTC Incredible and Droid operating system $goog. I have been weaning myself off the Blackberry for a while and it’s not …
