One year ago, Jason Haber organized a petition seeking the resignation of the National Association of Realtors (NAR) President Kenny Parcell.

Cathy Wood is a warrior. Perhaps with the wrong battle plan. She is a general  - intelligent, seasoned, and committed to the cause.  Yet, a war of attrition only works if the army (in this case, her investors) have the staying power for prolonged battles with an unknown endpoint. She catches falling knifes, averages down, and counts on her investors having unlimited patience and staying power. To...

Overcoming Adversity… …the title of a podcast I recorded during the worst of Covid. I am intrigued by certain individuals' drive and resilience as they rise to great heights, despite being challenged with immense hurdles.

Normally it slopes upward, from left to right. When you think about it, it makes sense. Bondholders demand a higher rate of interest to lend money (i.e., hold bonds) for a longer period of time. What Is An Inver...

The Race Between Technology And Education A major impetus for my writing and recording is my interest in personal reinvention. The overcoming of adversity.

Covid, Climate Change, a gecko, a fox, and an Oracle. The pandemic of 2020 brought a wake-up call.  We are not immune from virus, the Blue Planet benefits from a carbon light industry, and global supply chains leave us vulnerable to disruption and economic warfare. In 1987, Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas) walked along the shore at sunrise with a cell phone the size of a box of Kleenex in his left h...
