In 2016 I wrote ‘The Death of Retail Is The Birth of Retail‘. The post was inspired by some very smart investors and entrepreneurs. The links in the post are worth re-reading. The stock picks I made in the post have not done too badly (Square, Bitcoin, Shopify and Paypal). The ‘death of retail‘ seems …

Lindzanity – Episode 6 – Family Ties With Rachel Lindzon and Jeremy Bernick
I talk about my kids Rachel and Max often. I also have a boatload of nieces and nephews in Toronto and Phoenix who are crushing it. I have a great niece and nephew as well, but they were just born and would make for boring guests. For my first family podcast I asked Rachel and …
Momentum Monday – Flat Lining
As it always does, the markets reopens today after the long weekend. Ivanhoff and I tour the markets and cover a lot of ground. The S&P’s flat 200-day moving average is starting to drag on which makes it harder to gage the direction of individual stocks (at least for me). You can watch or listen …
Memorial Day on Coronado
I am on Coronado (San Diego) with the kids today for Memorial Day. We are lucky to have a home on the island which is a spectacular American piece of real estate with its own unique history. We share the island with the military. Here is a map of all the navy bases and facilities …
Google Travel and The Google Maps SuperApp Advantage
It was a really busy week in New York. I was tempted to head up to Toronto last night to see Game 6 with some friends, but caught my flight home to Phoenix and had dinner with Rachel and Ellen. I watched the 4th quarter from the comfort of home and it was fun to …
Too Funny To Fail
I am headed back west today. Last night I watched ‘Too Funny To Fail‘ on Hulu…the Life and Death of The Dana Carvey Show. It was great. Here is Dana Carvey talking at length with Steven Colbert (who got his big break as a writer for the show). SNL was fantastic back in the Dana …
Pick Up The Goddamn Phone!
Ellen has to put up with a lot of my financial experiments. I open so many new financial app accounts and move my money all over the place to see how companies and people behave with our money. In the last month I have completely closed our Wells Fargo Accounts and Schwab accounts. I never …
I Love New York
The weather this week in the city has been fantastic. I’ve set some personal records here daily for walking. Yesterday, my friend Mike Lazerow took me out to Bayonne for a very early morning round of golf. Our friend Ryan Spoon joined. Bayonne is a beat of a course on a calm day, but yesterday …
Some Bitcoin and Some Banking Numbers
I noticed that Bitcoin has held $8,000 and I have been getting a lot of questions about it. You know who else is getting a lot of Bitcoin questions… JP Morgan! JP Morgan – according to my friend Pomp is now putting out research reports about “Bitcoin’s intrinsic value.” I have a bad memory, but …
Lindzanity – Podcast 5 – Doug Horlick Worked At Goldman Sachs and I Like Him
Today on my podcast I sit down with Doug Horlick to talk about life on Wall Street with Goldman and the thundering herd at Merrill. Doug spent his whole career on Wall Street leading sales on the FX side. He then headed west to Scottsdale where he will never have to run into another Wall …
