It’s been a long time since I sat down at a table surrounded by my own family. Even when my grandparents were around, we topped out at about nine, maybe ten, people at the holiday dinner table. In my early twenties, after moving to New York, I made a few trips back home for Thanksgiving,[…]
I am a habitual breakfast skipper. Ever since high school, I’ve avoided eating food in the morning. My mom would get so concerned that she’d write a note to my homeroom teacher asking if it would be okay for me sit outside the classroom during the morning announcements and eat something she hid in my[…]
On Thursday I was invited to close out the hour on The Claman Countdown by weighing in on the markets and discussing some of my favorite stonks. While this was not my first time appearing on live TV, it was the first time I was asked to give my opinion on individual companies. You can[…]
The internet gods handed me a lovely birthday gift last week as I went full viral for a tweet about Google’s acquisition of Fitbit. FIXED: Google buys your health data for $2.1 billion. https://t.co/TpVwBRgYXQ — Douglas A. Boneparth (@dougboneparth) November 1, 2019 Apparently, people are very sensitive about their data. And can you blame them?[…]
Not too long ago, I overheard the parent of a teenager share a story about how their child used the phrase “OK Boomer” during an argument over something unimportant. I remember the other parent giving a quick and confused laugh before moving on to the next parent-child related subject. Meanwhile, I was shook. I had[…]
When it comes to the whole Ken Fisher saga, I don’t have skin in this game other than the desire to see my profession become a better, more inclusive, tolerant and welcoming community for everyone. I’m a white male in an industry dominated by mostly older white men. How can I claim to know what[…]
I can’t think of a more dynamic time in one’s life than where Millennials find themselves right now. Our twenties and thirties are loaded with critical decisions at almost every turn. From launching careers and finding purpose in life, to buying homes and starting families, there’s no other time quite like it. I’d argue it’s[…]
Last week, Charles Schwab announced it would offer commission free trading across its brokerage platform. Within what seemed like minutes, TD Ameritrade matched the offer with zero commission trading of their own. Since their *groundbreaking* announcements, there has been no shortage of news articles and blog posts about them and their impact on the financial services[…]
This week is Rosh Hashanah and during Rosh Hashanah we eat apples and honey to symbolize a sweet new year ahead. So, in the spirit of getting back to celebrating all the things, I will keep this week’s post short and, well, sweet. There’s almost no escaping the news surrounding Trump’s impeachment inquiry. Regardless of your[…]
Last month I announced my partnership with my supplier Trade Coffee to try a whole bunch of beans this month and report back with my favorite roast. So, like the good *influencer* and marketeer that I am, I of course coordinated these findings with International Coffee Day. Please hold your applause. I’m a coffee influencer[…]
