Ellen and I have been doing yoga three times a week for the last couple of months. At dinner last night, Ellen was telling Rachel stories about all the noises coming from me during a class. I pitched them a sitcom idea while they tore me apart….a show where people tell their friends about that …

I wish I knew how this slow motion crash was going to end. Right now, it is fascinating to watch the price action, feel the emotion and see the behavior. The ridiculous ‘oversold’ readings continue with the highest put to call ratio since the flash crash in 2011: The high Put/Call ratio means simply that …

Yes Janet I miss You. I have been mesmerized by the markets the last 48 hours. I rarely screen watch. I did a lifetime of screen watching before I started Wallstrip, Stocktwits and Social Leverage.

The markets feel a lot like Hemingway’s Law of Motion… “How did you go bankrupt?” Bill asked. “Two ways,” Mike said. “Gradually and then suddenly.” (from the Sun Also Rises) Next week should be a doozy. I don’t really have a game plan yet if the market meltdown accelerates on Monday. I will have one …

Today Robinhood launched a free checking and savings account, a Mastercard debit card and a 3 percent cash interest rate. My friend Matthew texted me this morning that Robinhood is audacious in the best possible way. Matthew is a CEO of a Unicorn company himself and he knows audacious! Like I wrote on my blog …

Ben Thompson has a great piece up titled ‘The State of Technology At The End of 2018‘. Read it all.
