Hi –

I am revving up the blogging engine again! w00t!

I will be writing about partisan politics.

Kidding!

Really, I’m going to write about fintech, banking, social media, music, food, family and maybe parenting, market shrinkology and anything else I care to cover.

This post is to say hi, test how the old blog is holding up and see how the post to Medium feature works as I will publish these posts over there too.

It has been a few years since I last posted here and I am now the marketing director at Bank of the Ozarks.

If there is anything in particular that you would like me to write about, shoot me a message HERE.

Nothing I write here represents the views of my employer.

I’m thrilled to get started and will be focusing much energy on bringing super high quality and expert voices to the site.  Over the coming weeks, I will relay more specific details so stay tuned!

Leaving StockTwits was a very difficult decision as I’ve committed myself to growing the community with every bit of energy and as I have grown to love it.

Many thanks to Howard who is a great friend and an amazing mentor.

I also want to give a special thanks to Justin, Josh, Tadas & James who have each contributed to my professional growth in incredibly constructive ways.

The decision to invest additional resources in a losing account, when better investments are available, is known as the sunk-cost fallacy, a costly mistake that is observed in decisions large and small.

Microsoft has already committed to mobile in a big way economically, strategically and psychologically.

Those costs are sunk.

Now, instead of admitting failure, realizing mobile has been a huge loss and redirecting resources elsewhere or towards a newly devised and better mobile strategy, $MSFT will throw 7 billion at $NOK, a former leader that has failed miserably in its own right.

Microsoft doubles down to perpetuate a myth that it is still in the mobile hunt instead of experiencing loss realization.

Sure looks like sunk cost fallacy.
