So it’s really happening. Actually seeing the market react to the $FBOOK IPO is really just a reminder to me of how I have underperformed. You too :) . I have bled social and mobile web and spent thousands of hours reading, writing, investing and entrepreneuring in the space. Right now though, all I can …

Google is Great….Apple is Magnificent…The ELEVEN Year Highs in The Nasdaq… and Momentum Monday!
Google is a great Company. Somehow I have still managed to lose money owning the stock the last few years. There are other great Companies…Intuit, Federal Express, Nike, Starbucks, Whole Foods, IBM to name a few. You should own great Companies. They are generally great stocks. You must prune and prune your portfolio until you …

The ‘Swoosh’ of Nike – Marketing, Sales, Fashion, Technology, Data, and even Biotech!
The great Nike $NKE is once again at all-time highs and you don’t really hear much about it with SOPA, The Golden Globes, Greece, Google and Apple in the headlines. I don’t own the stock, but it is about time and I want to. If you asked 100 random people in the street to describe …
There is NEVER a Bubble in Schlepping
My daughter had her 14th birthday party and we put her to work for some prizes. Not the same old Goldman Banker ‘pinata’ from 2008. That’s played out. We had the kids hustle around the island for 13 clues in a Coronado version of the ‘Amazing Race.’ They actually loved it. (Note to self – …
Momentum Monday…BIOTECH!
Been on hiatus for a few weeks while Ivan shlepped to Bulgaria. He bought me a lousy plate which I show off and break. If you have 20 during today’s trading day give it a listen and/or watch. It’s just been a hard market for leadership and momentum with traps like $GOOG and software lately …
Predictions…Predictions …Uranus… and Wall Street is Bottoming.
Uranus is super cool. Predictions are uncool. Wall Street will be cool again. We need a New improved Wall Street (must read). We need some fresh thinking and better marketing. I mean ‘bulletin boards’ as a name for an exchange that trades public securities? We need IPO’s not RE-IPO’s. The best thing for any industry …
2011 – The Year in Tickers
It was an incredible year for global financial markets. Five of the most volatile years in stock market history have now occurred since the year 2000. It seems like the ‘shrinking world’, improved communication and social networks are increasing market volatility. We thought it would be interesting to look back at the tickers that shaped …
How Do Retail Investors Invest?…How Should They?
I think I am a retail investor, but I don’t follow the process as David describes in this great post . David was head of Yahoo Finance and now our head of product at Stocktwits. My purchases do not move stocks. I don’t have to keep them secret. I like talking about them after the …
