My dear lovely people, recently there has been a spike in the number of people asking me when they’re going to die. It’s a good question, in the sense doctors nor scientists (or even statisticians) can give a good answer. So this comes under “esoteric” wisdom, and that is one murky field of knowledge. First …

Know why today is special? I’ll give you a hint – it is the New Year (in the Hebrew Calendar). Happy Rosh Hashanah, my lovely people. I admit, I usually maintain silence on holidays, especially when it comes to wishing people. But I think that this New Year is necessary, for all of us as …

1990, Kuwait: I was living a picturesque life (almost like a Norman Rockwell painting). I was young, in love, gainfully employed; I had my family with me (Papa, Mom, beautiful Wife, my adventurous Brother, my spirited Sister, and my two lovely daughters) not to mention Dei Gratia, my health. Have you had a time in …

This article is written by guest writer Katya Nicoleni. I was talking to an investor in the know yesterday, mostly about tech companies and their ginormous (and often unrealistic) valuations. Inevitably we talked about LinkedIn (a site neither one of us use). Apparently this ‘in the know investor’ had a significant pre IPO (Initial Public …

U. S. stocks faced a massive sell off as commodities fell, and economic slowdown fears rose. After setting a low of 183 points, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA closed down 130.33 points / 1.02%, to 12,630.03. Two of the biggest movers of the blue-chip index were oil companies: Chevron Corp. (-2.01%) and Exxon Mobil …

Okay. No need to panic, as long as you haven’t leveraged up your trades and as long as you know where the exits are you won’t get killed. Rumors of CME raising trading margins on OIL (along with everything else) and data showing crude oil inventory build up could mean we’re in for a massive …

Now, I like Assange although I generally hate snitches (let’s be honest he is kinda one of the biggest, nay most famous snitches on the planet), I feel that there is a need for a counter force, and he is a part of this counter force that maintains a balance (though he comes across as …

I was trying to log-in to Twitter and I got this weird server down message. What do you guys make of it? A picture is worth a 1000 words. Twitter is a wonderful service (unfortunately it is often misused by ‘certain’ narcissists) and even though they are pulling very high valuations (ranging from $2 billion …

Aren’t you a little sick and tired about the media pushing the royal wedding down our throats? I know I am. In fact I am ashamed to be a part of a community that frantically celebrates this sycophantic tradition. We prop up a dead monarchy and act as though it has some meaning, sillier still …

President Obama gets it… Unfortunately it’s a little late (about three years late to be precise). It is understandable as to why he’d act now. Americans are getting mad, paying $4 a gallon (or 5.69 if you’re unlucky enough to be in Orlando) is not easily digestible (Nymex Crude above $100 is equally unpalatable). Obama …
