I am in NYC for a few days at the Stocktwits HQ. Today was wall to wall meetings around town. I always overbook and never account well for travel time when I am here. I am optimistic! At the end of the day in SOHO, I was on the phone catching up on things at …

It is hard to appreciate the ‘journey’. Fred wrote today that ‘the inevitable often takes way longer to happen than you might think. In 2006 when I had the idea for Wallstrip, I was so sure of myself. I only had a kernel of an idea but I knew that you could recreate a financial …

We are all dying. But, we waste so much time every day that we still have a massive amount of time on our side. I can’t believe how much time I keep finding in my day to watch content on Netflix and Amazon. The one thing that Spotify, Netflix and Amazon are proving is that …

I think every investor and trader can use Stocktwits daily and benefit. Even if the idea of a stock market social network makes no sense to you, the Daily Rip email (free) is worth reading. It comes eveyr day at 7-30 pm eastern and quickly gives you a pulse of the day and a few …

Repeat after me: There is no such thing as information overload…only filter failure. I remember hearing JP Rangaswami say it during a presentation in Australia (2013) and I have been using it ever since. I used to have 10 monitors and 100’s of tickers on my screens when I started my hedge fund. That got …
