Sheep Logic and Short Selling
I have shared posts from Ben Hunt’s blog before and today I wanted to share an older one titled ‘Sheep Logic‘. It is a longish, but fantastic read. This paragraph really got me nodding: Why are we being trained to think like sheep? Because sheep are wonderful prey animals. They pay the rent with their …

Summertime!
My summer starts next week. Yes…I am lucky. My work life is in Gmail, Google Docs and my iPhone. In Phoenix, summer started a month ago when it started crossing 100 degrees daily. I am already sick of it. When we moved back to Phoenix from Coronado a couple years ago, part of the deal …

EssilorLuxottica ….The ‘FANG’ Of Your Eyes
Yesterday I was blogging about BIG. It’s not just the internet giants that have gotten big. There is a FANG (Facebook, Apple, Netflix, Google) of your eyes. The company is EssilorLuxottica.

Big Big Big and Why Decentralization Matters
The big are getting bigger in the tech world and maybe that’s just the way it is meant to be in the era of the internet. I enjoyed the reads below which had me shaking my head at the size, scale and opportunity these companies are both attacking and creating. Ant Financial…a spinoff from Alibaba …
