December 2017…Borrowed Crypto Time
I am interrupting Podcast week here on the blog to just say…. WTF! This is a month in the markets that will remembered for decades to come. I don’t believe the traders and the investors comprehend the fragility of this moment in crypto. The acceleration of gains in crypto stocks and tokens can of course …
Podcast Week – Naval Ravikant (Startup Boy, Angel List)
I am glad to know Naval. He started AngelList and blogs at Startup Boy. In the world of angel investing and entrepreneurship he is a ‘Great White Shark’. You would do well to follow him closely like a pilot fish does in nature. I have watched Naval grow AngelList over the years (as an angel …
Podcast Week – Enterprise Investing
I am not a big podcast listener but I am definitely on the lookout for good ones all the time. I found this one with Ed Sims of Boldstart VC that is great. I have known Ed a while. He has been writing about software and investing in enterprise startups for a long time. We …
Time is Currency
I really liked this post from Arjun at Social Capital titled ‘Units of Time are the New Currency‘. To lead in today’s world of global, social and mobile technology, one has to be relentless. For Buffett, “buying a commodity and selling a brand” creates a moat around mindshare. For tech companies, a great product and …
Charts as Art and of Course Money.
I have been writing about my passion for ‘chart art’ here on this blog a long time. I love charts. I must look at 500 a day. It has been my routine for 30 plus years. Many of the new traders and investors being onboarded because of the crypto craze will fall in love with …
Another 2018 Prediction…All-Time High – Nike Is About to Just Do It!
I can’t jinx Nike. The stock is right at all-time highs and back above $100 billion. The stock has been digesting massive Jordan and Tiger era gains since 2015. Back in 2005, one of my first blog posts was about Nike and that it was a stock I would never sell. My thesis: Best commercials …
A 2018 Prediction – More Fintech
I am blown away by the fintech explosion in 2017. I have been investing in financial startups (and creating a few) the last 11 years dreaming of a year like 2017. I have been trying to soak it all in and ponder what could happen in the coming years. I don’t think we have seen …
2018 – The Year of The Vape
The year 2017 was the year of the HODL. In the Crypto world ‘HODL’ has replaced HOLD and it dates back to this post in a crypto forum in 2013. While Trump tweeted, the world voted to take their money off the grid. Politics ruled the airwaves, the internets and our minds, but crypto sneaked …
2017 – The Year of the Comeback
There is much to complain about in 2017 and I am guilty of my share, but… What. A. Year. The routine of sharing ideas and writing here daily forced me to focus on startups, stocks, markets and now crypto that could make money. As a trend follower this was not a year to miss. I …
