Go Denver!

By at 4 March, 2008, 9:00 pm

I spent this week visiting clients and contacts in Los Angeles and Denver. I have written before about the burgeoning technology and media sector in LA being underserved by a paucity of capital sources in the City of Angels. Having made my very first visit to Denver, other than the really cold winters (not my [...]

Speaking of lawyers…

By at 14 February, 2008, 8:54 pm

I know that many of you who are regular visitors are attorneys at some of the largest law firms in the world (Google has a wonderful analytic tool that allows me to see what network visitors come from). Some would say this is of no help to me as I seek to promote my law [...]

There's this one about the lawyer…

By at 7 February, 2008, 8:51 pm

US Presidential candidate John McCain likes to tell this joke on the campaign trail: what’s the difference between a catfish and a lawyer? One’s a scum-sucking bottom feeder, and the other is a fish. Lawyers are used to taking heat. Today I visited a dental surgeon for relatively minor surgery. How many dentist jokes are [...]

FAQ and Glossary Added to the RM Blog

By at 4 February, 2008, 8:50 pm

In case you hadn’t noticed, on the top right of the blog home page, above the picture of the cover of my book, we have added an FAQ (for old guys like me that means “frequently asked questions”) about reverse mergers, as well as a good chunk of the glossary already found in my book. [...]

Winter Contrasts- and a New Idea?

By at 12 January, 2008, 8:46 pm

This winter is a study in contrast more than many. During the last week I have been in balmy Los Angeles, chilly Las Vegas, barely freezing New York and then Vermont where the thermometer barely stayed above zero (finally back to New York). The US Presidential race, with no clear front-runner in either party, seems [...]

And speaking of the power of technology…

By at 6 November, 2007, 8:29 pm

Thanks to all! Yesterday was a new one-day record for number of visits to our humble little corner of cyberspace known as the Reverse Merger Blog. As we expand the scope of the blog to cover mostly all things small and microcap, I’m thrilled to see that a blog that never even once mentions Britney [...]

Coming Home

By at 20 October, 2007, 8:26 pm

A busy week for those of us in smallcap, PIPEs, reverse mergers and APOs as the annual PIPEs Conference convened in NY, so not much else new to write, the SEC has not yet announced anything (although they have declared this Disability Employment Awareness Month), so a moment off to write about, as they say [...]

The Week that Hell Brought

By at 8 September, 2007, 8:15 pm

I was driving my daughter and her friend to school on a sunny Tuesday morning when it came over the radio. We thought it was a joke on the top 40 station. “A small plane has hit the World Trade Center.” When we realized it was real, I said, well that’s downtown, my office is [...]

Market's Down; RM Blog's Up!

By at 11 August, 2007, 8:06 pm

Thanks, thanks, thanks! August 6, 2007 was the second highest one-day total number of visits to this blog since we started back in November. That’s in the middle of the summer and there have certainly been more important weeks for the RM world than this one. Of course we are all worried about the direction [...]

Sorry about the downtime!

By at 9 August, 2007, 8:05 pm

To faithful blogees (several of whom emailed me): Unfortunately the blog was “frozen” by the operator temporarily due to technical issues, which have obviously been resolved. As my long-time office administrator constantly reminds me, we are maybe a little too dependent on all the technology in our lives, which is great until it stops working! [...]
