The Street Controls You

The market is not free.

Nor is it fair.

You are the mark.

The vig is steep.

The Street Controls You.

Remember that.

Announcing the launch of, you guessed it:

The Street Controls You

A new blog eviscerating groupthink, rending assumption, confounding the neutered convention that permeates coverage of financial technology and the power and money that ensures your docile, obedient servitude.

The blog will function much like a fintech magazine, but will be much, much better. Prepare your head to smoke for days from the incitement and excitement of penetrating, feel-good, epiphanous ruminations inspired from the piercing rays of insight fired into it like so many adrenaline shots to the temples. Seriously. We'll supply critical context, enabling you to scrutinize the market in a truer, more accurate and unadorned - and therefore empowering - way.

Our posts will (mostly) fit into these recurring departments:

Usufruct This

Stealth wealth transfers: Red-flagging market structures when they lead to easy - and legal! - monetary muggings. As well as the impact of intellectual property and patent disputes on innovation: Calling out "prior art" failures (unoriginal claims of novelty): Boo!

Lobotomized Eunuchs

If it's broke, don't fix it! When the boneheads in upper management or knuckle-headed end-users refuse to let you do something that's really cool and good for the company, because it's neither banal, traditional nor broken, and therefore frightening and incomprehensible. Let the rants begin!

PissingNotRaining

Renders infuriating attempts at subterfuge by providing highly reasoned, fully reported analyses to clearly elucidate when someone claiming your best interests is actually taking a giant leak on your head.

Spinkill

Translating press releases and canned statements to say what they mean, mean what they say. (Super happy silly fun!)

Luxovius, Dis Pater, Sinon?

Luxovius: Delineating when goodness prevails (for a change). Dis Pater: When banality reins. Sinon: When bad's disguised as good, or great power masquerades as a soft, squishy new pony.

GearGrind

The latest technology and gadgetry on The Street. Behold the arsenal: The coolest, most dangerous, the middling in-between.

You are outgunned. Know that.

It's truly my pleasure to inaugurate this blog on the same day Congress began the process that will fill the biggest financial reform in 80 years full of truck-sized holes. Mark my words: The Street will win, again: They already have. They always do.
