I hope everyone has a fantastic, healthy and happy new year. I have had the year of my life. I am appreciating every moment and trying to enjoy every second. It is very hard to be grateful. I have been there so I try not to judge. There is a lot of pain out there …

Stock Market Crashes…Like a ‘Pivot’ for Entrepreneurs
Plunge and crash are not favorite words of mine. They are on par with ‘pivot’. They are thrown around too often. But, when they do happen, plunges, crashes and pivots create huge shifts in wealth. For the past few weeks I have been as negative on the markets since January 2008. Last night I was …
Congrats Team Assistly
Today, Salesforce $CRM purchased Assistly. When we moved to San Diego/Coronado a few years ago, the first people I was told to meet were @dmitry and @alexbard so I did. We all hit it off like brothers and they told me to buy Facebook stock in the private market. I said fuck that. Woops. More …
Markets CANNOT be Tamed, Only Managed
I was uncomfortable buying Amazon Apple, Google, $ARMH and more $RAX in early August, but I did. Only Google was a dog and I punted it. I was chronicling the mess and that helped me keep cool and focused and things worked out. You can go back and read the posts. Keeping a journal/blog is …
The Big Picture Conference – October 11th -New York City….Hang with Some Legends…and Me.
My pal Barry is putting on a fantastic conference for anyone that loves stocks and markets. Most importantly, a few economists are coming and will be heckled like a young Howard with thick brown glasses and wool knickers. If you use THIS LINK TO SIGN UP, the cost is a measly $495.

We need help. The job does not require working near me…one of the many perks. Spread the word for us. Here is the job description.
Momentum Monday (09/12/11)…Why Visibility is Dead and Why Apple and Amazon Love it!
I’m shedding the pounds and looking tanned, but like the markets, my weight is volatile. I will never give up the double stuff oreos. It’s been a few weeks since I have wanted to do a ‘Momentum Monday’ but we are at a critical juncture in the markets. I feel we will go lower, maybe …
Funniest Twitter Moments…
One of my most popular ‘messages’ on Twitter and Stocktwits was a year or so back when I was heading into $YHOO headquarters and ‘tweeted’: ‘Heading into $YHOO, the Detroit of the internet.’ Some pretty smart Yahoo peeps let me know how much they liked it. That said, it’s always risky talking about companies because …
Howie’s Plan for Dow 30,000…VIX 3… and $300 Gold
On Friday, the markets were in a panic. As my pal The Fly was perfectly explaining…an epic bubble was at hand in ‘NO RISK’. A few days ago (22 hours to be exact), it seems like a few years, my headline declared Dow ZERO and $6,000 gold. Nineteen hours ago I posted an Instagram of …
VIX 1,000… $6,000 Gold… and Dow Zero by October
We are doomed! Capitalism is dead because Nouriel Roubini said so. I mean he has a Wickipedia page. The EURO should not exist. Grab your guns like everyone else ($RGR). We are more connected than ever and it is amazing that $VIX 50 is not the new normal. Any math person will tell you this. …
