I’m BACK with Ivan his sore teeth and a new episode of Momentum Monday. Everyone is already bearish again.  I believe and the market confirmed today that the public markets prefer bad news and the truth more than bad news hidden and dripped.  If you do not think the higher ups have inside information, you …

Other than checking in on the stock market from my iPhone on Stocktwits, there is no app or service I use more than Instagram. I never thought I could care about photos. I am not sure that using Instagram means I care. Nate Bolt has an interesting piece on the Instagram phenomenon over on TechCrunch, …

I don’t think Steve Wynn (amazing Wikipedia bio) cares that much about the web other than ways to book rooms at his hotel and tickets for his shows. The web will never do his products justice. After this weekend, my kids seem to be more impressed with Steve Wynn than Steve Jobs. When I was …

My buddy Phil Pearlman is a gem. We met on Fred Wilson’s comment threads back in 2006 and forget the time we actually met in person. He has introduced me to some great investing talent. He himself was managing a hedge fund when we met. One of my favorite macro thinkers/investors is Gregor Macdonald and …

Fred Wilson has a great post up that every entrepreneur needs to read and think about. It got me thinking for sure. Wired has a piece up now about Jeff Bezos and $AMZN owning the web. Trust me, that was not in his first year roadmap. Whispernet and the ‘Fire’ were likely not his ideas. …

Sometimes you just have to call the cops. I remember the moment I truly knew my partner was stealing from me and my firm. It’s just not a good feeling. Trust me. In my case, the cops were the SEC and the NASD. Frick and frack. My partner had not stolen from client accounts. He …

It’s that exciting time again when Fannie Mae tells us just how much they suck. Hold…… FIVE billion! Ugh. F@#k. Toow (Woot in reverse). Doink. Kapow! Fannie Mae is relentless in their ability to suck. They have managed to tarnish the word ‘failure’. In 2008, the Dow would open at Zero tomorrow. The reality is, …
