We are getting our first really nasty day of weather here in Northern Ireland. It is pouring buckets of rain with 40 miles per hour winds as we head out to play Royal Portrush. You can’t hide from the weather when you want to play golf. In modern finance, you can’t hide from leverage and …

I am so excited to have enjoyed every moment and am very fired up to be home in Phoenix and San Diego this weekend.

Hello from Tel Aviv (Kampinski hotel lobby to be exact which is also quite nice)… I LOVE Tel Aviv. Nobody here cares about the $VIX but the intensity is 10,000 percent all the time (with a smoking kicker). It is my kind of city and the perfect opposite to all of Italy where the $VIX …
