My mom texted me at 7 a.m. on Monday, and there were like 15 fire emojis and a screenshot of Katy Perry going out to dinner with Justin Trudeau. Mom’s always been obsessed with the Hollywood gossip, but this time it really shook her up. “A pop star and a former prime minister!?” she wrote. […]
So Jake texts me at 11 PM last Tuesday. “Dude, my money’s just sitting there doing nothing. What should I buy?” Classic Jake. Guy discovers that his savings account is paying him in pocket lint and he wants stock picks at midnight. But honestly? Good timing. It’s been a wild September, and there’s some serious […]
So there I was last month, drowsy and cranky at the bar of the Crowne Plaza Docklands Royal Victoria Dock after a punishing flight from Chicago. This friendly guy behind the bar, whose name is Marcus, is asking me what I want to drink. I’m thinking beer, maybe wine. And then he’s like, “Try the […]
Jake phoned me up around 11 the Friday night it happened, sounding like he’d won the lotto. “Dude, I came across this streaming service called Apollo Group TV. Twenty bucks and I’m watching every single NFL game in 8K!” Yeah, right, I thought. Nothing costs twenty bucks anymore. Jake’s Big Discovery My cousin’s always chasing […]
Last November, my brother called me and he was beside himself with despair. “Dude, you won’t believe what happened with my Cassava Sciences position,” he said. “The stock just collapsed 85% in a single day!” I knew he’d been gambling big on SAVA for months.

My friend Jake called me last week, screaming into the phone. “Bro, did you see this Frontier thing? The GoWild annual pass is back in full swing for $299! I hadn’t, but as soon as he told me, I was on their website in less than five minutes. And unlimited flights for less than the […]
Man, I still can’t believe Anne Burrell is gone. I still can’t believe on the shocking truth behind Anne Burrell cause of death. I was fixing myself breakfast when my sister called me wailing about it in June. “Did you hear about Anne?” she sobbed into the phone. My first thought was that the chef […]
You know how, every once in a while, you think you’re following the rules just fine, when suddenly something reveals that for all you knew, you had your chess pieces on a checkers board? And that’s more or less what happened to President Trump’s tariff strategy this week. As someone who has followed trade policy […]
Last March, my friend Jake lost his job at the tech company. Guy’s 45, two kids, the mortgage; you know the drill. Instead of frantically hunting for another corporate gig where they would almost surely lay him off in two years, he began investigating franchises. “I want to own something,” he told me over beers. […]
This Canadian kid just smacked his first big league home run, and I’m here sitting, grinning ear to ear. Watching Cubs baseball since I was eight, I’ve seen plenty of prospects come and go. The vast majority burn out faster than a wet match. But Owen Caissie? A different story entirely. Last summer I was […]
