I remember when you wrote for the Chronicle! We used to get the paper in the old days (early nineties) and I read your column. Once I wrote you a letter regarding a potential investment. It didn’t get published but you wrote me back a nice letter saying basically do your homework and due diligence, and if it seems too good to be true then it probably is!
Typical stories are all about how wonderful their choices were. Sounds like Warren Buffett talking about why he chose Berkshire Hathaway as his company name ; to remind himself of his bad decisions so that he could go forward and not repeat his mistakes…
The video of you talking about your career was very interesting and informative. I found a career with a large company and stayed with it for 20 years. I never thought about moving around because I was very happy where I was, doing what I liked. Now I'm wondering what would have happened if I had ventured out. Your new venture, Wall Street Beats, now makes sense to me and I better understand what you are doing.
Key is happiness and if you were happy staying put you made the right decision. Startups, even those that sound like they make sense, can fail. That means flexibility and a willingness to evolve, change course, or whatever... WSB makes sense to me, too, but come back and ask me in a year!!! ;-)

It all sounds good on paper!
