Can’t wait to read badass short selling 
hedge fund manager’s David Einhorn’s new book…he was just on CNBC today talking about that oh so evil, unpatriotic act, impressing the hell out of just about everyone. I’m particularly pleased with him lashing out at the bastards over at the SEC. Guess you just need a few billion under management to get people to listen.

Sykes’ Saturday Sevenish: April 26th, 2008 Edition

ANALysts & Venture Capitalists Know S#@! About How SmallCap Stocks Trade
While I respect Andy Kessler for making a ton of $ back during the bubble and writing two superb books–Wall Street Meat and Running Money, this piece of s$#@ interview he gave on smallcaps really makes me mad. Not only does he believe it a foregone conclusion that investors should look for companies with emerging technologies, but he also refuses to name any names or give any kind of timeframe whatsoever for his theory.
To Andy and all other venture capitalists, do your thing with big companies, but don’t talk about smallcaps and microcaps—these companies ALL have cool technologies, but this isn’t 1999, most of these companies are gonna fail and their grim reality is reflected in their stock prices. While you have good intentions, interviews like this are what gets people investing / believing in these POS companies, inevitably losing $ and thinking this niche is random, which, if you focus on the proper variables—chart, volume, manipulation, message board hype etc—is clearly not the case. Dangerous dangerous dangerous, welcome to why media outlets are sooooo bad with smallcaps and microcaps–it’s a different world down here in the gutter, ain’t no place for WASPs!
Lie Detector For Talking Heads: Grave Consequences For TV Interviews
You guys know I’ve been on my “nearly everyone in this industry is full of BS / the financial media is an unfunny joke” crusade for a while now, but with regards to a product that actually does something about it–or claims to–unsuprisingly, I’ve been outscooped by the world’s top financial blogger Barry Ritholtz.
RealScoop uses their special voice analysis technology to measure the believeability of what people say in videos–yeah that’s right, useless talking heads, corporate scumbags execs: get scared. Cute, right? A lie detector and a big scary guy patting a baseball bat standing beside them would def. work better, but baby steps…
Sykes’ Saturday Seven: April 19th, 2008 Edition
I’m never gonna be able to find exactly seven so here’s 7-ish articles from the week that was…
THIS blog compares me to a Duke basketball player—I like the piece on the whole—especially the point he makes, but c’mon Duke basketball is just evil—I’m not—UConn forever!
Gotta love that 5 hedge fund managers raked in over $1 billion each in personal earnings last year…America, f%#@ yeah!

A Legendary Trader’s Music Video…Seriously
Other than legendary billionaire traders, you should listen to legendary-not-quite-a-billionaire-but-still-damn-successful-traders like Ed Seykota who’s featured in required reading Market Wizards. There’s little doubt as to his trading abilities, his musical talent, well,that’s a whole different story…let’s see what you guys think:

Good Financial Advice From Real Wall Streeters: Listen To Billionaires Over Journalists And Talking Heads
Here’s a great 3-part interview the man himself, Mr. George Soros, whose current net worth is north of $8 billion, all created through financial speculation. If you don’t know who he is, first be ashamed, then see his bio HERE. Then click the picture below to watch the pathetically unembeddable video:
Now that’s an interview! Always trust the views of experienced/proven-successful billionaires over that of the experienced-sounding but success-lacking journalists, marketers and talking heads who infest our great industry.
CNBC Has No Young Viewers, My Readers Are All Young, Hmmmmm
Catching up on some somewhat-useless headlines…while CNBC’s ratings were up 20% as whole, their numbers for everybody not getting social security were down 20%. Where did those viewers go…obviously not to Fox Biz–not with their 10k daily viewers…sorry guys…and probably not to BloombergTV–that channel works better than Nyquil aka should never be watched while operating heavy machinery.
My guess: those “young people” stopped caring about finance because IT BORES THEM!
Insiders don’t realize it–they need to star on a reality TV show–outsiders understand nothing! It’s okay in bull markets because at least viewers are making money, but when bear markets hit, then they’re just confused AND poor…not a good combo at all.
