I got a note from Ted who reads my blog after reading my post about being in Muskoka with my oldest friends: Nothing quite like being with old friends. They usually agree with each other, cut each other a lot of slack, and just have a good time. Ted nails it. For the past 13 …
From: September 2018
What A Week…
The headline news this week was overwhelming. Luckily, I was in muskoka with friends for a few days and the only thing we did was eat, fish, drink and re tell very old stories loudly. For the most part, the markets got through September unscathed. My friend Ryan says October is the best month for …
Rally Road – Series A
Back in November 2017, we invested in the seed round of Rally Road. I wrote about it here and how it fit into our thesis. The company has grown quickly and today they announced their series A led by Upfront and good friend Greg Bettinelli. Rally Rd.’s co-founders Chris Bruno and Rob Petrozzo told TechCrunch …
Nasdaq 10,000 …More Evidence and a Must Listen Podcast on Technology
A pause that refreshes in technology and other leading stocks may be upon us. My friend JC takes a look at the technical reasons why in this good post. In the bigger picture, I saw this chart from Charlie and realized how far this next 10-20 years could still go for the Nasdaq One case …
Make Me Laugh and Smile and Facebook is The New Tobacco

Momentum Monday…The Calm Before The Calm?

I won’t guess when volatility returns, this has been a great year for the US markets and an especially great year for people that like buying individual stocks. The stock market is a popularity contest and with trends, the catalysts for the trend …
BTFD China? and Congrats Microsoft
It was fun to catch the last few holes of the Tiger win today. Ramp Capital pointed out that the last time Tiger Woods won a golf tournament the Dow was at 15,600 (today it is at 26,700). One of my fave follows on Stocktwits is Ian McMillan who shares lots of charts and keeps …
All-Time Highs and Is Cannabis The New Crypto?
I am flying to Toronto today. Toronto is home to the World Angel Summit and I was invited to give a presentation. It will be fun seeing family and friends. From Toronto I am off to New York for a few weeks. I have a bunch of good reads and podcasts set for the long …
Rules are Meant To Be Broken
I love this post titled ‘Limitless‘ from Sarah who has a blog called ‘The Delusional Trader’. My challenge to you is the same challenge I brought to myself last year – change the way you look at things, and the things you look at will change. Break out of your comfort zone, loosen your stops, …
My Prostate Exam
The other day I went for a physical. It has been a while. I mentioned yesterday that I have long battled anxiety. In my 30’s it manifested in me being a hypochondriac. Being able to surf the web did not help. It was way too easy to look up all the diseases I thought I …
