Our recent piece on a blockchain-powered VC fund talked about how investing in startups provides exposure that’s not correlated to the movements of the broader stock market. Venture capital as an alternative asset class provides portfolio diversification which reduces risk. For retail investors, that’s been rather problematic because venture funds don’t just take investments from whoever knocks […]
You’ll never buy that casa on the playa by cherry-picking the right stonk. When 95% of professional money managers can’t beat a simple benchmark, your Saturday afternoon due diligence sessions aren’t going to put you in the top 5% that can. Accumulating wealth is a slow boring process that takes lots of time and sacrifice. […]
If anyone is wondering why Elon Musk has such a fan club, it’s because his inner nerd harkens to those who appreciate immature geniuses. Look no further than his recent announcement that he might start a university in Texas – the Texas Institute of Technology and Science. For most people commenting on this tweet, it […]

When we use clickbait titles, our “time on page” metric ranks among the highest according to the Ministry of Truth, Google. Today’s clickbait title comes directly from one of our paid subscribers who asks the following […]
Having an eccentric CEO who thinks we’re living in a simulation and pretends to smoke weed on a podcast isn’t necessarily a bad thing for shareholders. There’s no such thing as bad publicity and all that. As you rock star employees out there know, you can get away with quite a bit when you’re exceptionally […]
Tech media has become a political mess. Reporters think their mandate is to catch venture capitalists saying horrible words like “retard” (some now refer to it as “the r-slur“) so they can engage in public condemnation. Incompetent “AI ethicists” are now paraded around as martyrs. And during all of this, the necessary stories that provide […]
There’s a recent debate going on about whether or not people who have a PhD ought to put prefix their name with “Dr.” or not. It’s a debate that’s been had plenty of times before. When the flight attendant asks if there’s a doctor on board, don’t use the credentials unless you’re comfortable raising your […]
Bulls make money, bears make money, but pigs get slaughtered. That old Wall Street adage warns against letting greed get in the way of making sound investment decisions. Most retail investors are only familiar with the bull side of making money, and rightly so. Shorting is often akin to speculating because the longer-term trend of […]
Albert Einstein once said that reality is an illusion, but a very persistent one. He could have easily made the same statement about money, only some of which has actual value. In Papua New Guinea, they use pigs for money. Even today, you can pick up a decent-looking younger wife for about five or six […]
“The market seems overheated but it may just be getting started – proceed with cautious optimism,” is the sort of shite you’ll often hear pundits say.
