Is it Citibank That Never Sleeps or Their Shareholders?

We are all sick of our bankers and politicians.
For zero percent interest the only thing that brings me joy from banking is just calling my new weekly bank and yelling about a wire transfer that I never made …and than hanging up. It’s the little things that help me through my day.
Lately, I [...]

Learning The Business of Web Advertising…Day One

As a co-founder and CEO of Stocktwits, and angel investor in so many web deals, I spend a lot of time thinking about web advertising.
Is it worth doing it?  What’s the time sink?  How do I measure it?  how do I sell it? Who should we sell it to? Where do I buy it?
One [...]

The Transparency Bubble…We Need It

Can you be too transparent?
I don’t think so, but I never went to Harvard or had $1 billion to manage around an algorithm. Google $goog can’t be transparent with their algorithms and had to pull out of China because of it (maybe).
I have been thinking about one of my rants on [...]

The NEW Stocktwits.com

It is a fun day for us at Stocktwits.com . We have been working really hard for 6 months thinking through the features and design that would make people that love talking about stocks in real-time go WOW. We are receiving some great feedback.
This tweet made my year from someone I have [...]

Giddy Up?

It’s party time on Wall Street.
YOUR problem is that Wall Streeters just booked their sweet gains in the form of bonuses and you are chasing momentum.
The market is thick with breakouts and the price momentum is beautiful. There is no reason for 99 percent of investors to fight the tape.
BUT, you don’t chase [...]

Does Time Heal All Wounds?

Nope!
As I was getting the grey removed from my hair today, I started thinking about Nadsaq 5,000.  I mean…all those Nasdaq points and not one good hair or aging solution…
It has truly been an amazing 10 years since Nasdaq 5,000 in March 2000. It was a pretty amazing two years leading up to [...]

Ten Guidelines for Enjoying The Stock Market

I get so many questions from people that say they are beginners and they always seem so confused. I generally tell them that I wish I knew than what I knew now, which is to keep it simple and find a mentor.
The markets can be very complicated…or insanely simple. The hardest part of [...]

The iPad Stock Market…Transparency is the NEW ‘Alpha’

So Steve was at The Oscar’s and by far the most important person in the place. Apple $aapl also launched their first iPad commercial which of course was tight and fun:

It makes sense that the market (especially the Nasdaq) is rallying into the iPad release of early April and the momentum should carry [...]

Howard’s America

I never thought I would run for office because the whole idea of dealing with politicians just bores me.
I don’t want to know them.
After spending so much time in Coronado, California though, a sliver of America that is almost perfect but has many of the same problems (real estate, housing) as the rest of [...]

Saturday Morning Options Class With Steven Place

All our contributors are kicking ass for us at Stocktwits. On Saturday mornings for the last year, Steven Place has been running Stocktwits Brunch where he spends over an hour on live web TV answering questions from the community on the stream.
I had him on my show this Wednesday and asked for [...]

Little League Rocks

Max’s first Little League game of the year was yesterday.
He loves baseball and has a sweet swing in the cage, but live, 10 year old wild pitching is hard to hit. He had two walks and got a few cuts in.
He is starting at second base.
I was more nervous [...]

Entrepreneuring….I Get Interviewed on Mixergy

Andrew Warner is really digging in his heels to talk with all types of entrepreneurs at length about their trials and tribulations.  He is well prepared always so I agreed to Skype with him.  Something was wrong with my connection all day (at&t U (screw)-Verse), but for you entrepreneurs, there is a transcript over [...]

Meg Whitman – What is your definition of GREAT ?

I don’t know about Meg Whitman the person.
I do know her YouTube political campaign quickly sucks balls.

The whole ad made me cringe, but the ending is out of touch and pissed me off.
I now spend a lot of my life in California. I doubt I will ever leave. I consider [...]

Momentum Monday on Stocktwits TV … and The Business of Transparency

I just got back from Arizona and if you are in the real estate business, things are bleak. The tenants have all the power. Unfortunately, the tenants have NO money. Unfortunately, the landlords have too many buildings. I would not bet against the west, but much time will be needed [...]

The Brickyard – Great Ideas Can Win… Even in Shitty Markets

If your best friend asked for money to start a retailer in late 2009, you would flick him in the eye. Than you would laugh at him. That is the environment we are in, yet the reatil index $XRT is humming right along like it’s 2006.
How dumb is it to have an [...]

Basically….It’s Over!

Such a great title for an article in Slate by the uber smart Charlie Munger . The juicy ending:
Basicland’s investment and commercial bankers were hostile to change. Like the objecting economists, the bankers wanted change exactly opposite to change wanted by the Good Father. Such bankers provided constructive services to Basicland. But they [...]

The Economy is Sick…BUT Stocks are Not.

I was out with my pal Tom in downtown San Diego last night and oh boy the city is sick.  You could fire off a cannon in most of the restaurants and only hurt your ears.  In a city with great weather and beautiful people, that should not be.  It is massively overbuilt.  I [...]

What’s Hot: Intuit INTU

It seems like Intuit $INTU is really becoming a monopoly of your financial data.  There are no contenders and with the acquisition of Mint.com, even the cool kids are on board.
Very impressive how Quicken has completely dominated the personal finance software space and beat or bought everyone.
Bill Gates was right in trying to buy them [...]

Go Ticketfly….Inventory and The Web is Always a Good Opportunity

The team at Ticketfly.com has been killing it since they started but starting to get some real recognition.
My fund and Social Leverage have been backers from the beginning as disclosure.
I have had good success with early investments surrounding inventory and the web, first by no skills of my own (Rent.com [...]
