Momentum Monday – The World Is Breaking Out
Happy Monday Morning…the world is a different place now that Tesla and Apple have split their stocks. It feels like 1999 which is fine with me because I would be 34 years old and be smart enough to make a note to myself to buy Apple on the iPod announcement. Over the last 21 years, …
You Gotta Have Faith?
I took a day off from the blog yesterday. I woke up late and decided to just stay in bed a little longer. I hop everyone had a great Saturday. Onwards… I am cynical optimist. I think it is a good mindset for investing. Thank goodness I am not cynical pessimist. I was raised conservative …

It’s fun to build product and design a beautiful website and app. Eventually, business development and sales matter. Our new Social Leverage partner Ross Hoffman has been sharing some of his …
Momentum Monday – Markets Really Do Only Go Up?
Markets that only go up die with supply. Expect a lot more supply. There will be bad SPAC’s, bad IPO’s, blatant pump and dumps (Kodak and the evening White House pressers). It’s fun. There is something for everyone while this goes on. I sell some Apple only to buy the next breakout of a tech …

Here Comes The Sun…Again?
