Poll results and some market thoughts
Well, I wish the results of our latest “Who’s more scared?” poll were more lopsided and therefore a great contrarian indicator for the markets. But as my 7th grade basketball coach once said, “You can wish in one hand and spit in the other, and you tell me which one will fill up first.” So […]

Where’s the panic?
You know what surprised me this morning? The fact that there are no panicky headlines out there today despite the fact that markets are down 10% in the last month and down again this morning.

Markets thoughts and illusions

Good morning. Remember when I used to dispute all those analysts who said we were already in a “tech bubble” last year by writing about how we’d know we were finally hitting bubble phase when social networking and app-related IPOs started hitting the markets and doubling on their first day?
