Hello Blog. Long time no talk to!!!

Steve-jobs-motorcycle_bmw

Greetings everyone!  

Sorry its been so long since I have posted.  I have been extremely busy -- here's the story in bullet points:

1. Money management is busy as hell and thats no joke.  Since this time last year we have seen some serious returns.  All major indexes have made major advances and never looked back.  The steepest advances came last March-April and then again August.  There was a borderline recklessness to buying assets - everyone was afraid to miss the turn and buying turned into a frenzy of sorts.

2.  Technology is making some serious advances right now.  Twitter, Apple and Google are killing it. These three firms are at the heart of the push. Twitter's microblogging has replaced blogging, Apple is killing the landline, and Google has made information a commodity while nearly taking down the newspaper industry singlehandedly.  

Anyone investing in anything needs to watch this unfold. The trends and themes being pushed out on the internet right now is nothing short of amazing.  Our lives are changing right before our very eyes.

3.  The picture above is that of Steve Jobs.  On one hand I hate the "closed system" notion of the Apple machine but on the other hand he is, without any doubt, perhaps the biggest innovator of our lifetime - a real fucking gamechanger.   Want to match wits with him?  You dont stand a chance.  He's the darth vader of the internet.  Cross him and you die.  His products kick ass and no one comes close.  Hell, people thought the Google Nexus One might compete with the iPhone...um nope.  

What will beat Apple?  Good question.  They will probably beat themselves at some point...but thats another topic for another day.

4.  I am working on something special that I call Project X.  At this point only 5 people I know actually know about this...it looks good and has lots of upside potential.  In due time, I will make an announcement on this blog so stay tuned.  Hint:  Think twitter and a solution to disaggregated communities.

Thats all I have for now.  Good night...time to get my ass to sleep.  I will have more later.

AG out.

  • I am always fascinated by successful entrepreneurs and the wisdom they provide. With that said, I am a big fan of, the Stanford educated, Peter Thiel, founder of Paypal and now hedge fund manager of Clarium Capital, a global macro venture capital fund he launched in 2005. He was an early investor in Facebook and sits on the company's board of directors. He is also an investor in Slide, LinkedIn and Friendster. You can download a great writeup of him right HERE.
