He is the Founder and sole creator of the podcast, he described his vision for the show in the first teaser of two teasers that were released two days beforehand. The initial concept was to highlight publicly traded companies whose stock was trading at or near an all-time high. In May 2007, the program was acquired by CBS’s interactive unit at an estimated value of US$5 million.
Just two months short of the two-year anniversary show, the offering of episodes stopped abruptly with no prior announcements after the final episode on December 12, 2008. As the podcast was not generating the anticipated revenue, despite the popularity of the show, it appeared that CBS would no longer provide ongoing funding.[13] In all, around 500 episodes were produced during the 26-month period.
Lindzon was an opponent to the short-lived SEC short-selling ban in 2008 calling it “a disservice to investors and market participants. An assessment of the effect of the temporary ban on short-selling in the United States and other countries in the wake of the financial crisis showed that it had only “little impact” on the movements of stocks, with stock prices moving in the same way as they would have moved anyhow, but the ban reduced volume and liquidity.
He was also an early user of Twitter but once passed on the opportunity to invest in the company. He still ended up with shares of Twitter due to his investment in BetaWorks when Twitter acquired Summize for its search engine.
