Ron Pollack's Phone Debate
I was having a conversation with my wife, Mimi, the other day about technology. With iPhone vs. Blackberry becoming a large topic of conversation I decided I would chime in. I realized that a lot of men are Blackberry users, and a lot of women like the iPhone (although I have plenty of guy friends who also use the iPhone). My wife agrees with me. The iPhone seems to be very easy to use, is...

A Ron Pollack Story: Making Money at a Young Age
Sometimes I am asked how I got interested in making and managing money. I have talked with many friends in the Wall Street game, and it seems that a lot of us had a knack for the business or the markets at a young age. Even though, technically, my resume starts at Yale, I did have many previous so called “careers”. At the age of 12 I became a candy trader.
I was recently...

A father of with along with my wife Mimi, like to keep things educational.

Nathan, My Son
I wanted to share this update one my oldest son Nathan. He spends hours at the barn, and often is there bathing, brushing and lunging his horse and riding it in the ring. There were even some twin fawns he was able to show her. He is 15 and has been in Oregon over the summer. His old friend from the neighborhood, Francesca, is also staying nearby in Oregon. She was recounting to her mom the...

Bust or Sundance!
This January, I went to see my first Sundance Film Festival in Park City, a trip without our kids we’d been looking forward to for a while. The town would be a “zoo”, and traffic all but impossible to manage,we had been warned about that. Probably due to our shrinking economy and the excitement of the Obama Inauguration,luckily, this wasn’t so. Most of Hollywood that attends Sundance also...

Updates & News About My Family: Ron Pollack
We had an amazing art director for the Christmas play this year, which we saw last night, that made the show look professional. In addition, I was very pleased with the performance of my children. The confidence and enthusiasm bubbled over in Rachel. (She was so precious in that old Dalmatian costume of Nathan’s.). Levi and Lila also had fun on stage: they love to sing, and they also got to...
Ron Pollack's Vacation In The Snow
We are taking a two-week vacation in the Utah snow. We give them lots of DVD and Nintendo time — something they don’t normally get at home,the kids are electrified: they love going on the plane. And I love the plane too: once everyone is settled into their seats, with their electronic entertainment, I get to sit back, nap, and read a book. Absolutely no CNBC. There is no Bloomberg. No...
