I hit the age where I appreciate diplomats and gentlemen. We need more of them. While we were busy building flying cars and connecting everyone (so they could share their political beliefs, gifs and cat pictures), we lost our minds and our way. Thank goodness for old comedians. I watched this interview with Dave Chapelle …

I really liked this post by Jeff Lawson, CEO of Twilio, titled ‘Words Matter‘. Leaders act to cement our best attributes, bring out our strongest selves and align us as a people around our core values. Especially when we can’t look to our politicians as leaders, community leaders in civic, religious, and business realms need …

Today is just another reminder that nothing changes sentiment more than price. Remember Amazon hitting $1 trillion a few weeks ago and nobody was willing to part with their Amazon shares? It has now shed $250 billion and people are barfing up the stock like it is poison. Don’t get me started on HODL and …

This is 2018 so far for investors… Right now the mood is very angry and this time around stock prices and market prices are declining. I am reminded of this great Seinfeld scene… ‘The sea was angry that day my friends…’ I am having a hard time separating the anger from fear in this environment. …

Back in 2009 I wrote ‘The Armchair Entreprener‘. The gist: I am not sure if it is harder or easier today to run a start-up? Fifty years ago, if you were had a $1 billion market capitalization, you had 5,000 employees. Now you need 50. It makes sense that those 4,500 forced to look in …

No wonder they call this season ‘the fall’. This has been the worst October for the stock market since 2008. I don’t think Fat Nixon will put that on his list of accomplishments. Unless the selling stops Monday, the S&P 500 is about to experience something it has only done once since 1960- two separate …

I am thrilled that Stocktoberfest is back on Coronado tomorrow. We have a live feed for people that want to tune in. Ian (Stocktwits CEO) explains the FIVE things to expect at Stocktoberfest. As usual I will discuss the big FOMO or FOIST asset of 2019. Last year it was crypto and we had two …

It was another ugly red day in an ugly red month. The price action is absolutely pathetic. The S&P is now down in 2018. The last time Amazon traded below it’s 200 day moving average was March 2016. The #MAGA trendline that Fat Nixon was using to time his positive market tweets is now broken: …

Last week I sat down with Patrick O’Shaughnessy as a guest on his podcast. Patrick has one of the most popular investing podcasts which I have linked to here in the past. I am grateful for the time he gave me to discuss my style and point of views on investing and glad I got …

It is Monday which means Ivanhoff and I are talking Momentum, or in this week’s case the lack thereof. I would love to be sharing 100 great new ideas, but the market is not offering them up, so I am in capital preservation mode. One of the best looking charts right now is Verizon, which …
