Thanks Barry … We have been working on a video to the same tune about stock tickers at Wallstrip…sometimes you just get beaten to the punch. Nicely done at RichterScales.com

Comparing China, Housing and Nasdaq Bubbles
Awesome chart here comparing all the big past bubbles and a frame of reference for where China is possibly in their bubble cycle. Seeing that they have many more billions of people, maybe their bubble is just getting started. That would be insanely fun for a while. It is mucho volatile this morning in the …
Today's Lesson: How to Call a Top!
It’s easy. Just keep calling for it. I have said China was topping at least twice including yesterday. Josh Kopelman has an excellent post written for Alley Insider about ‘Bubble’ calling. That’s why Josh is a great venture capitalist with bazillions and I am a thousandairre :) .
Bears Win…Market IS going to Zero AND the Internet is a FAD
Great post here by Marc Andreesen who is as bullish as me and I like being on the side of this billionaire. I don’t mind disagreeing with Marc Cuban, even betting against him (how’s that lame shortseller site going), but I like Andreesen. He thinks outside the box…all the time. How about this sarcasm: The …
Just Too Giddy…and a Reminder!
Semiconductors just suck balls in this rally and I have had a great run in Nvidia (NVDA) so am getting rid of it today. That sector is just too aggravating. Traders will be saying the same thing 5 years from now on homebuilders. Dead cyclicals are dead cyclicals. I would love to see some more …
What Happens at TOPS…?
Don’t get me wrong, we are inning 1-2 of the Internet, but you can still have a frothy environment and giant drawdowns within the major trend. This could be a ‘Triple Lindy’ OY for the internet: 1. Facebook frenzy (color me included) – Rumors that Zuckerberg now has a $15 BILLION valuation on Facebook, even …
Cars direct…I Mean Internet Brands Files for IPO
Obviously I am happy that Internet Brands – formerly Cars Direct – has filed for an IPO . It is my ‘Bubble Boy’. I have an embarrassingly large/greedy amount of money invested in this pig. The deal that contributed to the final straw of the first bubble and I was a stupid..now smart? investor. I …
NY Times says: "Crisis Looming in the Mortgage Industry" (I say…YOU THINK)…AND …Seventh Anniversary of the Nasdaq POP!
Today Wallstrip takes you to the beach. This Saturday marked the 7th Anniversary of Nasdaq peak of 5,048.62. Wired remembers . Seems like yesterday if you have been involved in the subprime lending stocks. Love this NY Times piece, a must read . The homebuilders are all down 50 plus percent as well. Last year …
The return of the Dot-Com Boom!
Thanks Fred for linking to this amazing article by Numair on the “Return of the Dot Com Boom.” My takeaway – Sean Parker is a stud AND IPO’s are coming. We NEED them and Wall Street will GIVE THEM TO YOU, before this Nasdaq run is over.
Internet Bubble Talk gets a little more serious
Bill Gates is quoted today talking about some traffic chasing froth in the internet space. He is right and wromg. He is wrong if he is referring about YouTube ($1.6 billion – despite any legal anxiety – is cheap)and he is :) , and sounds like sour grapes, and right about most of the rest …
