Book: The Wallstrip Edge
I just read Howard Lindzon’s book The Wallstrip Edge: Using Trends to Make Money — Find Them, Ride Them, and Get Off. It’s a really fun book – 200 pages of the inside of Howard’s brain. There are so many things about Howard that I love including: He is totally hilarious He created Wallstrip, which was a successful investment for me (and him) He understands how and when to use the word fuck He twitters endlessly about his twittering (and stocks – especially Stocktwits , which he helped create) Whenever I spend any time with Howard, I laugh at least once ever five minutes He has this funny Canadian accent that is crossed with a weird Arizona semi-drawl spoken at a New Yorkers pace He’s been a hugely helpful TechStars Mentor He’s a self-proclaimed putz – and proud of it He wrote about me in his book and was very flattering He has a giant party in the spring called LindzonPalooza and schedules it on a weekend that I can never come His blog is dynamite I could keep going but you get the point. If your path hasn’t intersected with Howard, you are missing out. Howard will engage in a conversation with pretty much anyone, including my dad, so go for it. And grab his book – it’ll give you a fresh perspective on public (and private) market investing. ...
