I often say that it's no longer about who you know, but what you know. The fact is that "who" you know does matter, but my point is that in this digital age when you can reach out and communicate with just about anyone if you're diligent enough, that "what" you know matters more to "who" you know than "who" you know matters to your success, however you may define it. At any rate, as a result of ... read more

Reading this article from the AP by Joseph White as part of my preparation for tonight's show...I found it interesting that National Thoroughbred Racing Association CEO Alexander Waldrop was brought in to testify to the same panel about steroid use among horses in horse racing as David Stern, Roger Goodell and Gene Upshaw, were to talk about steroid use in human sports.

I made the joke the other day with some of my colleagues that I'd become emotionally bankrupt. I was exaggerating, but man, I'd hit an emotional low a few weeks ago. I'd also made the joke that I wished I could buy calls on my emotional state, because it was certainly at a sentimental low. Nothing like catching your breath again, and were I now long those options, I'd probably peel a few of ... read more

I've been a fan of Whoopi since my old friend Neil got his first break in Clara's Heart after being discovered at an acting camp in Las Cruces. But I've never seen more than maybe 30 seconds at a time of The View. With Whoopi booked for the show tonight, I'm watching this show for the first time. Strange job, I have, in that I never would have pictured growing up in Ruidoso or playing hoops ... read more

August 1995 and I came back to the apartment I shared with my UNM basketball teammate, friend, all-WAC first teamer, Marlow White, because I'd forgotten my company cell phone, one of of those big black brick Motorola ones that were the first "handheld" back in the early 1990s. Across the sidewalk lived my teammate, friend, first round draft choice of the Miami Heat, Charles Smith, and a kid who'd ... read more

On the comments area of my Bullish on Google post, I got a question from loyal reader, SD: For perspective, on a trade like this which particular calls would you likely buy and what percentage of your capital would you risk on the trade? Thank you. It's funny....I used to not answer that question, when I was running money and writing my blog on TheStreet.com. Options aren't nearly as liquid as ... read more
