@RealScottRitter I wish there were more people as brave as you in the world, willing to speak truth to power. Unfortunately the vast majority of the media left that building long ago.

@BBCsport_Live Nice touch from a player The Special One didn't find special enough to play. Spurs play fun football again. Good riddance Mourinho!

Massive congrats to @IAmJermainDefoe for winning a championship with Rangers! He, along with @petercrouch are my two favourite footballers of all time!

Come on SEC, it's going beyond ridiculous. When is the market manipulation going to be clamped down on. No way retail investors are solely responsible for the latest GME runup. But they will be the one's to get burned.

Today's blog post talks about why I think a stock trading tax is a bad idea. We don't need another GME fiasco, but this isn't a good way to prevent it. https://t.co/QGCgBbLRg8

They say attack is the best form of defence, but I don't think a tax is the best form of defence. The proposed stock transaction tax is a bad way to defend the markets against another GME style fiasco. Many unintended consequences!!

Congress finally looking into the #Reddit #Wallstreetbets fiasco. This episode was clearly not what it seemed. We need to know exactly who was behind what. I have a feeling it won't be pretty. And why are people still buying the worthless GME??!!

@jeremypiven @nflmemes This was one of my favourite scenes in the entire series!

Today's blog post looks at some of the things we've learned from the recent stock market mania

Despite pretty high valuations, CEOs wanting to increase cap spending is one reason to be bullish, despite Bank of America wanting to be bearish for no reason https://t.co/xlfhmzkXSl

@davidfrum @TheAtlantic If Ken Dryden had been able to wear the Michelin Man-style equipment today's goalies are allowed to wear, Montreal would have gone entire seasons without giving up a goal.

Yes, sacking Pochettino was a great idea. Thank you, Daniel Levy.

So True! If you're in the first inning, I'm still in batting practice. But I'm getting there!

[Steve Schiestel @SSchiestel]

@jus10castelli This is so hard to do but so necessary. Having a true north/statement of purpose is a starting point. I am in the first inning of being more mindful of my commitments.

I love this initiative from @TMobile! They are giving up to $15,000 to young changemakers to help fund their initiatives and a chance to pitch their ideas. #TMOChangemaker  #t-mobilepartner

Is #Bitcoin graduating to legitimacy? I was concerned when noted market manipulator #ElonMusk jumped in, but now respected financial firms are warming up. My only concern is how will governments, who hate Bitcoin, react.

[Thomas Rimer @ThomasRimer]

@whiteballer41 But today with firms like BNY and Mastercard warming up to Bitcoin, it could signal Bitcoin's transition from 'speculation with no intrinsic value' to 'accepted medium of exchange and store of value'.

[Thomas Rimer @ThomasRimer]

The Securities and Exchange Commission needs to step in. More market manipulation is taking place (GME, Bitcoin, and now Cannabis stocks), and more ordinary people are going to get burned to benefit Wall Street tycoons in disguise.

[Thomas Rimer @ThomasRimer]

@whiteballer41 It remains to be seen; perhaps none. When Elon Musk jumped in, a definite market manipulator in the past (esp. summer 2018) I thought maybe big money was going to pump Bitcoin to make profit off smaller inverstors, ala GME...

[Thomas Rimer @ThomasRimer]

The #DJIA hit a new all-time high again today. Is this market level sustainable, or are we in a #bubble? I'll explore this as well as a few lessons learned from the recent #wallstreetbets events in my blog this week: https://t.co/Eamjwz16U9
