When I saw Twitter and this social stuff I thought, huh? And then a very good old high school buddy introduced me to Face Book… Well, one thing lead to another and now I am on Twitter… Since I am a Twitter newbie, I think my twitter is christianhgross… What I really like about social networking and...

Many folks are sceptical of the rally. Yet the market goes up and up and up. And yes we hear yet again this “light” volume argument. And of course we hear arguments that the world is going to collapse from the likes of Jim Rogers and Marc Faber. Though the Marc Faber one puzzles me because on April...

Wow Jim Rogers just does not give up does he? > "I'm not buying shares if that's what you mean. Not at all," Rogers told "Squawk Box Asia." > > "The bottom will probably come later this year, next year, who knows when," he added. No Jim you are not buying stocks. What did you buy? > "I have an...

There was an investor on Fast Money and he said he is seeing patterns of flight into low quality companies, when instead it should be flight into high quality. An example of the flight into low quality was in 2002 how everybody jumped back into Nortel, and we all see how that turned out. First if...

I was listening to Fast Money and how the entire crew is sceptical of Apple and its ability to execute, even though it did execute. So what gives, is Apple over valued? Is it a company that is not able to execute? You have to rethink your strategy with Apple. I had a long talk with some people and...
