22Oct21: Snap, Algos & Idiots

Another crushing day on the market with Snapchat (SNAP) having a bad earnings report, pulling all the boats down with it. Programmatic ad companies got hit especially hard and with algorithmic based trades ruling the day, the vicious cycle continues. Add to this jumpy retail investors with quick trigger fingers and stop loss circuit breakers,… Continue reading 22Oct21: Snap, Algos & Idiots

19Oct21: Two Down, Not Out

Taking a financial punch from a disappointing earnings report (or for no good reason at all) hurts emotionally, as we don’t like to see any of our positions backslide.

22Sept21: Distressed Assets

The way to win the investment game is to think like a private equities manager and look for undervalued securities. During times of crisis when the stock market sells off (like the current fear of Chinese real estate company Evergrande potentially defaulting) is when you look around and scoop up what could be described as… Continue reading 22Sept21: Distressed Assets

16Sept21: Smart Money

The growing wave of programmatic advertising and machine learning continues to rise and, strangely, many Wall Street folks either don’t fully get the implications or are deliberately keeping share prices down.

23Aug21: Set it & Forget it

The ad tech and biotech correction left us with some stellar growth companies at very low market caps. This is when you load up (or reallocate) and just let them compound over time. Retail investors have been successfully shaken out of their shares with the stop-loss circuit breakers being triggered, and now private equity and… Continue reading 23Aug21: Set it & Forget it
