Bring on 2012…The Abundance Showdown!
I am in the money business so the calendar matters. That said, it is December so it’s a great time to think back on 2011 and forward into 2012. The year 2011 was a year of abundance in scale of money, networks, networking, web entrepreneurs, smart phones and evidence. The year 2011 was infuriating if …

Momentum Monday: November 28, 2011
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 …
Instagram…The Photos or Not the Photos
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, …
The Amazing Steve Wynn
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 …
Dr. Phil…Pearlman
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 …
Venting…Not Vente…AND Humor in Finance
At first I loved to blog so I could vent. Twitter came along and now venting became easier and and as Don King would say …’funner’. Part of the reason I don’t get Facebook anymore is that Starbucks $SBUX has a Facebook page that they built and maintain for Pumpkin Lattes. That means they have …
Facebook is NOT Ruining Anything…More Like Pressured and Relentless
Facebook ($FBOOK) is not harmless, but it is not ruining anything. The ‘meme’ of the weekend seems to be that Facebook has ruined sharing and maybe crossed the ‘freaky‘ line. I think they have definitely earned the title of ‘buyer beware’ and lived up to the economic claim that there is no such thing as …
