These Shorts May Fall Before Rome Does

Much like last summer, one would think that the disturbing images of American cities and buildings being overrun would lead to shaky equity markets jittery with uncertainty.

Hippies Grew Old and Started Working for the Man, Man

If you have ever been to Amsterdam, then consider that America may very well be on her way to a modified version of the famous Dutch city, at least with respect to many urban areas.

A Bitcoin Curveball Misses This Strike Zone

While I recognize we seem to be in the midst of yet another crypto craze, allow me to suggest that part of the recent surge and headlines/chatter surrounding the move may very well be due to the holiday stretch for equities, with rare days off and half days, to boot.

Here's to New Years, New Opportunities

Although the mere flipping of a calendar page and the seemingly arbitrary act of adding a different digit to the end of the current year may seem like a vastly overblown event, the perspective that a new year brings should drive home some overarching points about life. Time is, indeed, of the essence for all of us, regardless of how much we...
