Why I Sold Tucows
It’s hard post to write, but on Friday I sold most of my remaining shares of Tucows. Last year – before the reverse split I sold a little more than half, and just now I sold most of the rest. I invested in Tucows back in 2005 or 2006 for reasons which were admittedly, more [...]… Read the rest
The Era of AAPL is Over

Only in this case, he’s talking about the seemingly impending new top-level-domains. “New domain names will rank above the current crop”, he gushes. Really? You mean now… Read the rest
