Carl says it will be a bloodbath. He is making scary high definition videos for distribution on his blog. I wish this nightmare would end. Old people are so cranky. A little history lesson is in order. This is the same Carl Icahn blew out of his own stock in December 2013 with the help …

I love Business Insider. They make me yell at the internet the way I yelled at my TV in the day. They have declared the ‘death of television‘ more times than Donald Trump has been on TV. That is A LOT. Way back in 2007 after CBS had acquired Wallstrip I wanted to really invest …

Millennials plays games. The stock market IS a game. Millennials should never play this game! The rallying cry of most venture backed financial businesses these days is to ‘set and forget’. The media has globbed on of course. Trust an algorithm. Hire a robo advisor. Be passive! Don’t trust the players or the game. I …

I am the only person in America not on the board of directors. It’s not Facebook. It’s not ‘growing’ by whatever that means to Wall Street today. It’s not …

Is Apple a buy, sell or hold? Apple won in China for chrissakes and only trades at 18 times earnings. It’s inconceivable. The media is transfixed on figuring out how Apple will grow iPhone sales. It’s bananas. Almost everyone is a ‘Newman’ here (see last blog post). I am a ‘Techmeme‘ superfan and was surprised …

I don’t believe in financial coincidences…there is only ‘inside information’ for the few and ‘probability’ for the masses. I know I am not part of ‘the few’. The ‘few’ can’t stand me either. Not surprisingly ..both of my neighbors ‘think’ they are the few. The ‘few’ that think they are ‘the few’ are a real …

Everything that could be written about investing in stocks and markets has already been written yet I continue to write about investing. It really is insane, but I do this for me, not you. This short post from Michael Batnick is one of my favorite ‘investing is hard’ posts in recent memory which got me …

Almost all my time since I started Wallstrip in 2006 has been about making investing more social and approachable. I continue on this quest as we build and grow Stocktwits. The mobile phone along with social networks has created huge opportunities for entrepreneurs,investors, companies and products and it feels great that the financial markets are …
