Google is my ‘Newman’ Stock
When I shorted stocks a lot (the dumb days), Capital One $COF, Fannie Mae $FNM, Harley Davidson $HOG and Best Buy $BBY were my go to stocks. They drove me bonkers. They were my ‘Newman’ stocks. I lost way too much money over time to bother adding up and way too much hair. Now I …
The Mindless Behind The Meltdown…
We are all collectively to blame for the market meltdown of 2007-2009.

The Next Great Roll-Up…Entrepreneur Start-up Schools

Take a look at the market cap of Devry (DV – $4 billion) and University of Phoenix (APOL, $10 billion) when you get a moment Mr. Paul Graham (Y Combinator and already bi-coastal) and David Cohen (Techstars).
