I was doing a fireside chat with Blair Livingston today for his team at StreetContxt in Toronto. Blair founded the Company back in 2012 and has built a fantastic content management, measurement and research distribution service for financial institutions.

My friend Michael Porat invited me to speak at ICON in Palo Alto today. The highlight of the day for me was listening to Jeffrey Katzenberg talk about strategy and video content.

Before I start with the insanity in my world of momentum, let us not forget the fundamental skills of all investing. Morgan has the go to post on that today. Ok…here we go… This tweet sums up the fresh all-time highs in the S&P today: Millennial: I paid $1300 for my 1st iPhone” Baby Boomer: …
