The Wonderful World of Disney
Ellen and I are having a fantastic week mostly off the grid in Aspen. I have had a lot of time to catch up on reading and sleep. Today we did a 10 mile hike. As usual, I watch of the yearly and all-time high list and all of a sudden Disney is starting to …
Nasdaq 10,000 – Where Will Zuckerberg Be?
Kara Swisher got a long interview in with Mark Zuckerberg. Zuckerberg talks about everything from China to Infowars to whether he should be fired over the Cambridge Analytica scandal. Seeing almost everyone uses Facebook and or Instagram I think it is worth listening to or reading the full transcript.
Nasdaq 10,000 – A Break in Aspen
I am having a great time at The Fortune conference in Aspen. I have gotten to see some old friends and make some new friends. Our (Social Leverage) portfolio company WagWalking has a new CEO Hilary Schneider, who I have never met, and we got to meet because she is at the conference. I ran …

Nasdaq 10,000 – India and China…The Next Billion
You can’t have a Nasdaq 10,000 series of posts and not talk about China and India. This Buzzfeed piece on the state of the mobile phone infrastructure and market in India was great. I had never heard the term ‘next billion’: Ever heard of the Next Billion? It’s a term that the big tech companies …
Nasdaq 10,000 – It Will Be YouTubed

Nasdaq 10,000…I Am Really Serious
I have a lot more to say on Nasdaq 10,000 because when we get to Nasdaq 9,000 the Nasdaq 10,000 stuff I am writing now will be in every headline and useless. One of the biggest changes between the Nasdaq bubble in the year 2,000 and the Nasdaq today is the fact that great internet …
Nasdaq 10,000 …Thank You FAANG? Marijuana? Bitcoin? Biotech? Esports?
The Nasdaq is back at all-time highs again tonight at over 7,800…so pretty much everything in my silly world is golden. The last time I saw this many ‘breakouts’ I was 14 and looking in the mirror. I’m celebrating like any 52 year old would do in 2018 …I’m loaded and lathered up on CBD’s. …
The Rip and The Return
I am always trying to save time when it comes to catching up on markets. Gun to my head right now if I could only use two quick and concise sources to feel caught up it would be: 1. Stocktwits Daily Rip 2. Abnormal Returns from Tadas. If you need to go deeper, both offer …
