For decades, I had the joy of tossing around American $5 bills at convenience stores in Canada to the respect and awe of the lovely people that run said respected operations. ‘Ooooh Mr. Lindzon, how pretty your money is….you may purcase $7 of our Candy for such worthy and lovely currency’ I may have been …

I am 45 years old but in web years it seems like 1,000 already. Ebay was dead.  Like completely. Now they are almost cool again.  I love the possibilities of a Skypeless (never works anyway), Paypal reliant (they can’t be more hated) and $GSIC (leveraged properly) Ebay.

Taleb defines a ‘Black Swan’ as an event that is a surprise (to the observer) and has a major impact. After the fact, the event is rationalized by hindsight. The ‘Black Swan’ today is …

There is never one explanation or indicator that will signal a change in market direction. That does not stop us from trying though. I have seen price action long enough though to know that the tides are turning at the moment and many of the momentum names are sputtering. I have been hunting around for …
