My top CEO of 2022: @paraga Agrawal, ex $TWTR CEO. He took Elon’s “$54.20 or nothing”, signed the tightest merger agreement he could, called Elon’s bluff, didn’t back down and won (h/t to Bret Taylor) He delivered for shareholders when every other social media company couldn’t.

When I was this kid and KISS was hot, I wasn’t possibly thinking: one day I’ll go to Wall Street and then I’ll end up on a stock show and that show will one day have on Gene, the guy from KISS talking about this thing Bitcoin. But that’s what happened on FM last night.

Every morning when the market opens I look at the screen and all the numbers flashing and I think to myself OK should I do? And then I remember doing nothing is probably going to be the best thing for me to do, not as fun, but likely more profitable in the end.

You know when u receive a package from $AMZN and can’t remember what you could possibly have ordered.Then it becomes sort of like a grab bag,you don’t know what it is—could be a new lip gloss or an avocado pitter. Sadly today’s grab bag was 2 tubes of Neosporin. So disappointing.

I was at the corner of the $TSLA store today where a Cybertruck was on display, an Uber pulled up and a Door Dash guy zipped by on a bike, then a guy on an electric scooter stopped to see what the fuss was about. 15 years ago nobody had heard of these companies.

Thought for the day. One of the biggest mistakes investors make- I know I tested the mistake many times- is making a decision to sell based on your cost. It’s an irrelevant piece of information yet can become the guiding factor. It’s all ego and should have no weight.

As a long-term investor (on a show called Fast Money), year-end doesn't mean a ton. Other than taxes and flow of funds, I don't give it much relevance. I try to have a good process for investing and consistently improve. Some years are better than others, so let's take a look:

I know splits are just math but I get why $GOOG is up on this split. Options become relevant and there are no baby shares now so new, smaller investors can buy after split. Net net though it doesn’t change the story for me.

Here’s the thing I’m most curious about in $TWTR. What is Elon hiding? Did he not want to be deposed that much? Why wouldn’t he just roll the dice at trial? You never know-small chance of a win, some chance at a negotiated price cut, or he loses and ends up where he is today. 🤔
