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 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 …

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 …
