“Punish the good dogs and reward the bad ones? That is literally the recipe for making yourself dinner.”I was aware of the Rittenhouse shootings the night they happened. I watched a lot of riot video last Summer, but I wasn’t watching that night. I read about the shootings when I woke up in the dead of […]

“Before you begin to lecture me about animal instincts, can you please prepare a comprehensive inventory of everything a ding-dong puppy doesn’t know?”Priests and judges dress in drag to overawe you, to stun you into silence by their assertion of superior office. Scientists do the same thing with their lab coats and trifocals. The display lends […]
“How to drive dogs nuts: Make a TV show about a doorbell repairman.”Just don’t breathe. That would be the advice of Dr. Fauci, who could be laughed off the planet tomorrow just by changing his political party registration. Remember all the bullshit last Summer about how a drug saving lives all over the world could not […]
I talked about OODA for Real Estate before, mostly because it’s more clear to more people that there are no barriers to doing amazing (even splendid) things in or out of Real Estate. Again, OODA is: Observe, Orient, Decide Act (lather, rince repeat). A better definition is here, A still better definition is here. But […]
The reason that I became a part of BHB was because BHB wants to matter most. I don’t agree with everything Greg says or does (and he doesn’t always agree with me), but the core ethos at BHB is peerless. It’s the same reason why I dug the Smashing Pumpkins so much. Like him or […]
“Financing dogs? That’s so last century. The trickier way? The purebred puppy of your choice for FREE – by signing this 15-year dogfood contract.”I wrote the other day about Zillow’s losses on its iBuyer “investments” – incomprehensible losses considering that this is one of the few times when it is possible to make money on non-producing […]

Let’s start here; overregulation creates bubbles, not speculators. West Virginia University Professor of Finance, Alexander Kurov, offers an op-ed which comes to the conclusion that speculation from Reddit bros could wreak havoc on capital markets: So markets fail sometimes, and we need sensible regulation and enforcement to make such failures less likely. Taken in isolation, […]
“Ants? Grasshoppers? Bees? Fun to watch. Not good eatin’.”I think getting the rank and file back into the office is going to prove impossible. Apple-polishers may yearn for the visibility, but a 45-minute commute each way translates to a whole work-day of extra free time every week. Better yet, you can live anywhere… As I’ve discussed, […]
“Turns out there’s more than one way to land a landslide.”By now it seems obvious that Rudy Giuliani will keep dripping incriminating evidence against Joe Biden and his family until Biden withdraws from the race. By that time, millions of ballots will have been cast for him, and whatever mad rush there is to print new […]
Yesterday was no day at the beach. Okay, technically I suppose you could twist the facts around and put a major league, curve ball spin on it and call it a day at the beach. You know, if you want to get hung up on little details like how I spent the entire day at […]
(alternatively entitled – with all due apologies) Though I’ve Belted You and Flayed You, By the Livin’ Gawd That Made You; You’ve Made a Worser Man of Me, Socialism “And a woman is only a woman, but a good cigar is a smoke” (from The Betrothed). I have loved Rudyard Kipling from the very first time I read Gunga Din. […]
I’m just quoting the conclusion of the article that was up on Calculated Risk over the weekend. It was about a lot of the technical aspects of mortgage servicing and the way that mortgages are sold and bundled. A couple of main comments and then read the conclusion below: Many of the problems in the […]
The Notion In my dream I’m always gasping for air; as if the trillion or so cubic inches of ozone I’ve already blown through in my lifetime somehow counts for nothing. I awake, step over the dog, and scramble downstairs in my boxers in search of a physical remedy to a metaphysical dilemma. Something is […]
Get tactical. Everyone wants some “grand strategy” or “new initiative. But mastering tactics at the battlefield level is how 90% of us can earn money faster than the government steal it. It’s all about Tactics, not Strategy. Mastering tactics means that you are doing something towards a goal. Something, anything that’s reasonable is better than […]
I’ve been migrating all of my data to Infusionsoft lately. A little at a time. Easy does it. One list, suck it in, de dupe it, and on with the next. Tag it. Infusionsoft is powerful stuff. A good tool. I hate the counterintuitive interface. I hate the fact that you can’t ‘tag’ people at […]
