Today we almost lost our puppy Lindzee Lindzee just likes to chase. We are not used to living near a busy street and today Lindzee just busted after a bird as we opened our sliding door and took off. We are about 50 yards from Camelback and she was off towards it. I heard Ellen …

Carpe Volatility
I saw this chart being shared yesterday amongst founders and it captured a lot of the spirit of ‘carpe volatility’ from the perspective of great founders. When I think of founders, companies and stocks that define volatility I think of Jeff Bezos and Amazon. To think that you did not have to found Amazon, be …
The year 2017 …More Appreciating, Less Apologizing and a Few Predictions
In 2016 we learned that you can be President of the United States if you don’t apologize. We have become a nation of Crying Jordan’s for god’s sake: To me that means we all need to do less apologizing and more appreciating in 2017. On that note I really appreciate 2016 and turning the calendar. …

Since Donald Trump won the election on November 9th over $3 trillion has left the bond market. I’m sure it’s nothing to worry about (sarcasm emoji). In fact, we should just check in with Donald Trump on Twitter to see what he thinks… The world was gloomy before I won – there was no hope. …
Authenticity, Style, and Scarcity…and Peak Yelling
Last month I wrote about all-time highs in yelling. Today I was reading Bob Lefsetz on authenticity. Great riff. Timely too. I took the last month off Twitter, my yelling platform of choice. I have only been a reader of the tweets since Thanksgiving and Twitter works fine without my contributions. I wiped away 100,000 …
Investing for Profit and Joy – My Cornell Entrepreneur Summit Presentation

A couple quickie thoughts before we get to the chart… Bitcoin is up a quick 12 percent from my post Monday and at this point it may make the 12 charts of 2016 by the time this series is done. Bitcoin is now worth more than Twitter…which makes sense because I can buy weed and …
