Is Trump Presidency Chaos or Puppies, Lollipops and Balloons?
It feels like a lifetime since Trump won the presidency and he has not even taken office. Trillions have moved around in wild fashion. I am being called a leftist for my Trump disdain. I don’t even know what that means. As I said yesterday…the US dollar is at 14 year highs and so we …
It Has Never Been Cheaper or Easier to Leave America Which is Why I am Excited to Stay!

So Trump Won … What Next for Mother Market?
It’s noon in Portugal and I never did sleep last night. I worked. I wrote. The futures were limit down. I didn’t really understand that but it is also why I never trade futures or after hours. Donald Trump is our President. In the end Brexit was a great leading indicator for the US election. …
All Time Highs in Digital Yelling…and Hate Does not Scale
I have been living in a plane and six time zones the last few weeks so I have not really got my thoughts fully together lately. Today is election day and we will have an all-time high in digital yelling. I will be part of the noise because I love dipping into the streams from …
MoneyBadger from Stocktwits
Stocktwits is launching MoneyBadger today. Why? The number one question I get asked on stream, on my blog and when I am out speaking is how do I start?
