iRobot is Unhinged
I love the word unhinged. Right now a bunch of stocks are unhinged. Like Donald Trump does to the left and to sane people, stocks in big trends do that to ‘thinkers’ and people that comb for fundamentals. If you do not work for SAC Capital or Millenial Fund you are pretty much part of …
Etoro …For my Foreign Friends
I have only made two investments outside of North America – Billguard (acquired last year by Prosper) and Etoro. Both were made on a trip to Israel in 2010. Because Etoro fit really well into my thesis of do it yourself investing we invested what for us (Social Leverage) was a large amount. When I …
Flying Cars with Marc Andreessen
Marc Andreessen dropped off Twitter before me so it’s been a while since we heard about flying cars and virtual reality. He’s back giving interviews and this was a good one on what to expect in 2021. But you are saying hey Marc … give me a freaking day trade or something that could make …

NIRP…I Was Promised Negative Interest Rates from Main Stream Media and All I Got was Trump
Back in August the world was ending because of negative interest rates or NIRP. Here is the Wall Street Journal in August offering you everything you needed to know. Not to pick on these asshats because they chase news like the average person chases stocks (perpetuating the whole trend thing which I of course live …
Why I Am Taking a Break From Twitter
Things are going really well right now in the Lindzon household. I’m grateful. I like changing things a bit when life is good. The easy thing to change is workflow. I want more time. The time can go to help my kids with college life, Stocktwits as it grows and our portfolio companies at Social …
The Stock Market Does Not Care How We Feel…
The USA has it’s first king. Goldman Sachs is at all-time highs. Oil and gas stocks are breaking out. Warren Buffett is buying airline stocks, the ones that hate their customers and have a monopoly of the skies. Make America Great Again is code for steal and pillage. While the coasts pout…the new leaders look …
