Next to the financial web, my largest personal bet since 2006 has been web video. I have covered it in detail since 2006 on my blog. It has NOT been a super sexy space since $GOOG Acquired YouTube and sucked a lot of life and multiples out of the industry. For markets to work well, …

Social interest on StockTwits has been spectacular to watch this month. Last week, the talk of the town was all about Tesla ($TSLA). In-fact, Tesla seemed poised to overtake Apple as the most talked about stock. But what happened this week? Apple struck back.

It is a great day for Fanium and Grant Gurtin the founder. Grant is the youngest CEO we have ever backed at Social Leverage. He cold called me a few years back now while still a student at Brown and wanted to take me to lunch to pitch me on Stocktwits for Sports (Fantasy Sports …

This weekend, Barron’s should have a cover page of Mark Zuckerberg standing over 10 dead grizzlies, or maybe a cover of Mark Zuckerberg standing in Pamplona smiling. Never. Going. To.
