I am off to Italy for 11 days and am fired up. It always feels like the world is going to come to an end when you own stocks and have to head off on the road. Especially when you plan to go as off the grid as possible. I am always bullish, just not …

Amazon…Getting Stronger
Amazon continues to thrill momentum investors. I am one of them. I did this video with Paul at CNN Money and it has the gist of the thesis. You can’t overthink momentum and Amazon is the poster child of investors overthinking. Amazon CANNOT be valued. Not in a bad way either. If you are short, …
Should You Paper Trade?
Everyone should keep a journal. Everyone needs a mentor. Microblogging is so popular because it has never been easy to journal. Twitter exploded because of the knowledge/network you could leverage. In a world of Twitter and now Stocktwits for (investing/trading), discount commisions and penny spreads, should you paper trade? I say no. You can’t learn …
Momentum Monday with Barry Ritholtz
I love to laugh and Barry Ritholtz makes me laugh. Barry has been visiting with me for a few days talking some strategy and we cranked out a ‘Momentum Monday’ together. Barry is one of my fave guys to shoot a video with as we can chat forever on technology for dummies, music, stocks and …
There is NO Bubble…There is Entrepreneur Envy!

Zillow…The Disruption Continues
I loved Zillow $Z (great ticker guys) from day one. Here is a post entitled ‘The Summer of Zillow‘ back in 2006. Now they are a public Company and deservedly so. I don’t know about the valuation. It only mattered in the very first round of capital. Now you can rent it. Get it? Amazon …

The House of Cards that is Apple
There is NO way $aapl will trade at $400 tomorrow. Apple is barely hanging on. I mean $RIMM playbook, China knockoffs, Droid, $MSFT and $NOK teaming up….need I drone on. For sure the Gateway and Egghead stores will cut into their margins. The self ‘unhelp’ desk at Best Buy is a winner. There is no …
