A couple weeks ago I wrote about my new fascination with the stock market for shoes. When Max was here for Thanksgiving I thought it would be fun for him to come along to a meeting I set up with Josh Luber. Josh was introduced to me by my good friend Ryan Spoon. Josh is …

Who Do You Trust?… and Live Light and Mobile
There is a saying that no bell rings at the top of the market or the bottom of the market. I say having Josh Brown and I do a Bitcoin panel to close out the 1,400 person sold out Coindesk crypto event in New York City is the loudest bell in the history of bells. …
Enough With the Bitcoin Howard…
My friend Eddy summed up the obnoxiousness of the constant Bitcoin chatter: I can take a hint! Let’s move on to the market today…that boring place where people try to beat the S&P. Josh Brown has a good post up today explaining that a strong secular bull market may be just starting. Here is the …
Bitcoin and Robitussin…
I love this Chris Rock bit about Robitussin: I can imagine Chris Rock riffing on hedge fund managers today…’FANG not enough alpha for you…sprinkle a little Bitcoin on your portfolio!’ All kidding aside, I am thrilled to be participating in this financial phenomenon. From Yoni Assia (the first person that mentioned Bitcoin to me in …
Bitcoin $9,000…Shoulda, Coulda, Woulda
We did a family food tour in the East Village today. Knish’s, dumplings, falafel, bagel and cream cheese and Economy Candy (a great candy store) in a few hours. Oh and Bitcoin crossed $9,000 though so who cares about stupid food. While Time magazine denies the latest lie from Donald Trump that he would be …
My Ethereum Life
Ethereum has been good to me. I have been fascinated with it (also long) since Fred Wilson mentioned people should own a bit at our #Stocktoberfest in March at approximately $40. It was $8 to start the year and yesterday touched $470. In July when Ethereum last crashed, it was for sale at $150. I …
Thank You Markets!
On Wednesday eve, with markets closed Thursday I noted …”This has been the only market of my lifetime where staring at the market and willing things to go up works. Tonight Ethereum” Sure enough, as I write this early Friday AM, Ethereum is up another 18 percent. What is going on? Josh Brown has a …
Late Night With Howie….and Seth Myers
It’s no secret I want my own late night talk show. In fact, I deserve my own late night talk show. Our kids are in town this week and I asked Mike Lazerow (good friend of Seth Myers) to pull a few strings and get us in to see Seth. Sure enough, Mike got us …
The Square -Twitter Merger?
My friend Tom Brammar sent this post to me this morning titled ‘Jack Dorsey’s master plan‘. The gist: What is Twitter? Well, for a certain demographic it seems to be the mobile app that they use on a daily basis more than any other (and much to president-in-wanting Zuckerberg chagrin any of the ones that …
Just Another Momentum Monday….
I snuck up to Toronto to say hello to my Mom. It was her 76th birthday. I gave her a quick rundown of the momentum running wild in the markets… Tencent is now a $500 billion company. I doubt one percent of the investing public even knows Tencent is a public company. I think they …
