In a perfect world I would be paying $1,200, or whatever the Google glasses cost, to Oakley in a few months. But Oakley sold to Luxottica and I will likely just have to buy some boring pair from Google. No problem. The following day the convo will go something like this: Max…do you have my …

I lost my pants in Cyprus. I was backpacking through Europe with my best pal Rob and we were on our way to Israel from Italy. We stopped in Cyprus for the day and got off the boat/ship to walk around. To beat the heat midday we decided to take a dip and of course …

Until I started Stocktwits (late 2008), I never thought much about sentiment and volatility. It seems to consume many of the traders though on our site.

I am not sure what year of the bull market we are in or even if it’s a bull market. The market has just been going up. Through 2012, the market was up four straight years and 2013 has been wonderful so far. For those long stocks, the volatility has been dropping too, so you …

When I do public speaking I like to talk about my mistakes. They are always a little embellished because that is what happens to stories over time. I have made some doozies (mistakes). It might be why I need Ambien to sleep. I have made gynormous mistakes by ommission and of course by commission. I …
