Millennials are investing.  I have seen the data on StockTwits and as an investor in Robinhood. Millennials also buy stocks.  Of course people are surprised because the generation before made so many mistakes chasing tech stocks, leveraging themselves to their homes and finally now piling into passive investing instruments they cant explain other than the …

I still rarely use Facebook.  I don’t have the mobile app on my phone.  I do check it from search after I post something and want to check engagement. I spend a minute catching up on whatever is at the top of my feed.  I am in a tiny minority. It feels wierd to be …

I marvel at the way Donald Trump and his crew have made anger so catchy. ‘Make America Great Again’ is a classic. Comedians and consultants will be using this in case studies and as fodder for a very long time. Twitter is the best place to test out ideas. I liken it to walking into …

Basically the markets have Warren Buffett, Blackrock and Vanguard buying stocks and George Soros selling them. Somehow all four always win… Back to speculation though…the sport …

I am an immigrant to the USA. The USA is the best. I think I am a good citizen. I went to school here, I work here, I invest here. I pay my taxes, I hate lawyers and Goldman Sachs like everyone else. I am addicted to sugar. I take pills. I love risk and …
