Mr. Cuban,

I have never been a big fan of basketball thus not a big fan of you. However, after hearing about your blog on the Ticket 1310 about the Josh Howard mistake I decided to see what it was all about. I love your blog. To the contrary, it is not about basketball at all. I stayed up extra late reading older posts. Kudos to you for your interesting writings and different views of things. Best of Luck!

Mr. Cuban,

As a New Yorker and a lifelong fan of the Superbowl Champion GIANTS, I could never cheer for anything out of Dallas. Although I have these feeling, I am a Mark Cuban fan. I love the fact that you challenge Darth Vader, I mean David Stern.

Anyway, thank you for sticking behind and educating Josh Howard and pointing out the ignorance out there. I will make sure to become a more active reader of your site. Thanks.

PS. If you ever sell the Mavs & buy the Knicks, you have a friend for life. I swear.

I guess the better way to put this is: What would John McCain have done if it was Barack Obama who first announced he was suspending his campaign? If you think he would have happily joined him without being able to boast about being the first to do it, you are fooling yourself. And you are forgetting that McCain and Obama DID have discussions about this and a joint press conference, and after agreeing, McCain comes out with the “suspension” announcement as if he was the only one concerned about the bailout. He took Obama’s initiative and claimed it as his own! Come on man, you’ve really gotta quit acting like this McCain campaign “suspension” is really anything other than a useless political ploy. At the very worst, that’s exactly what it is, at the very best, McCain is offering his “help” when it was neither needed nor requested.

Hi Mark,

I enjoy reading your blogs daily and appreciate the insight you give on the current Wall Street/ Economic crisis.

Considering how poor things are in Wall Street and seeing it as how no investment through any stock traing on the NYSE, don’t you believe it’s time to look into Alternative Investments?

I know you were once interested in creating a sports gambling website. Such an idea is original. There are many ways to profit from Baseball for example, by hedging bets and using statistical analysis. The same could be true with Fantasy Sports.

I have been working on an idea to creare a Fantasy Basketball hedge fund. Please let me know if you have any useful advice or comments regarding this proposal.

Thanks,
Eitan

Mark,

I got introduced to your blog recently and I am hooked on it. It is very nice to read your views and ideas re day to day news and what we all go through.
I have one question for you? Do you recommend moving away from Dollar and what is the best way to invest in foreign currency for regular people? Based on recent market news and hearing the dollar printing machines in full motion and imagine Dollar moving to new lows. I just wanted to hear your perspective on Dollar and purchasing foreign currency. How about Gold?

Thanks and keep writing

From MC>
If you have to ask a question on a blog about a potential investment, you shouldnt go anywhere near it. And on gold, im not a fan. If everything falls apart, if you had something someone wanted to buy, would you take gold… not me.

I had never read your blog until about 2 days ago and now I can’t quit reading it. You have so many
good ideas. Your ideas on the mess we are in and how to fix them are great. The one question that
I have is why the federal govt. doesn’t ask people like you, Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Donald Trump
an the likes to come to Washington and sit down with lawmakers and figure out a way to pull us out
of this mess. All of you have made billions and should be called upon for advice. I am a business
owner and can promise you that if I start to loose my ass I am going to call upon everyone I can to
help me figure out why and what I need to do to fix it. Thanks for all the insight and keep it up.

Hi Mark,

We have launched a new site and are seeking a seed investment.

The idea of MixMyGranola is simple: Choose from our all-
natural/organic ingredients, and mix them together to create your favorite granola on MixMyGranola.com.

The price and nutrition facts for your granola are calculated live as you add different ingredients. Give your granola it’s individual name, save it in your profile and check out. Your custom-made granola is mixed at our facility, sealed in our sleek “MixMyGranola Tube” to preserve freshness and taste and is shipped to any location across the U.S.

MixMyGranola.com will enable the customer to share personalized
mixes with friends, vote on favorite mixes, or simply choose from our premix selections.

This is a proven business model in Germany, http://www.mymuesli.com. We are not reinventing the wheel here.

Thoughts?

Best Regards,
Matt

Hi Mark,

I am based in South Africa where 2 new industries are unfolding right
before my eyes and all I can do is sit and watch. Firstly our online
marketing industry is booming and secondly digital broadcasting has
just being launched. Media is about to go 360 degrees…HDTV is about
to boom, online ad spend is growing 2 folds every 3 years. All I can do
is sit and watch. What would you do?

Mark,

I have been reading your blogs for a while now and remember a while back you had thought about Sports betting as a hedge fund which I thought could make some sense with the proper money managment. But then I thought this could make for an excelant reality TV show on ESPN. You know give 5 guys each 100k before the NFL football season( I only say that because I would make the show have some live aspects on-air and the use of blogs with their daily picks and we all know all know sports betting always picks up for football season.) Winner would be determined at the end of the NFL season or better yet March Madness,but bets would be on all sports (NBA,NHL,MLB,College football, basketball they all play during the football season. Best part of this you could be the host of the show! Anyways just something to think about besides the dwindling economy. P.S I would definitley want to be one of the contestants on the show…

Best Regards,

George

Mr. Cuban, have you ever given any thought to getting involved open-wheel racing like the Indy Car Series? Your HDNet would get the type of exposure that makes sense to a sports oriented target audience.Sarah Fisher would be a great spokesperson for your business. She is aggressively pursuing an a great company to work with as a sponsor for her team. I do not work for her but have done so in the past. Sarah is arguably the most popular driver in the ICS.

Thanks,
Rick

I can help you with your s.e.c I am a licensed principal and while they bother you 100,000 of companies are stealing from investers,, want to know more, email me

I have been an oil broker for 5 years, I have made alot of money but what i have realized is that the securities exchange commision give licenses to people that are corrupt. All they care about is getting there money. They could care less about the investers who are swindled. This problem your having is there way of extorting good people out of cash while they let crooks keep on swindling investors as long as they pay there fines.

Hang in there, We believe in you!

Mr. Cuban,

It has been my experience that many wealthy, successful people such
as yourself have achieved their greater successes off of the backs of
“the little people” (aka ‘hapless investors’). They are oftentimes
privy to information that, of course, will allow them to profit
greatly (and unfairly), or allow them to escape a great loss. That
is just a fact of life.

But really, Mr. Cuban, you’re worth billions, and you were worried
about a $750,000 loss? Martha Stewart made an “adjustment, lied to
the SEC about it…all for a $250K loss? You people are worth
BILLIONS. Is there no shame anymore?

You can climb on your soapbox of indignity and martyrdom and claim
that you are being unfairly targeted. But I think the SEC will find
your smoking gun.

I hope you would have the character to, as the kids say, “sac up”
and “own what you did.” Admit that you used inside information.
Pay the price, and come to know what is and and come to learn what is meant by the expression, “Virtue is its own reward.”

Or how about, “Character is what you do when you think no one
is looking.” That’s a good one, too.

After watching people without a gray matter cell functioning trash you on this SEC issue on the http://www.abc.com I had to respond. Below is my response. Keep your head up Mark.

Semper Marine……. I seriously doubt you are in anyway attached to any part of the armed forces, I have read your comments and you appear to be a complete idiot. Mark Cuban never lucked his way into anything, he’s extremely intelligent, works harder in one day than you have in one year, and has started many companies and provided jobs and income for thousands of people. His company Broadcast.com provided college and trust funds for my children, what have you done for the betterment of all……. other than run you mouth on message boards? Do us all a favor, find your medicine, take a dose, lie back down on the couch and wait for The Andy Griffen Show.

I read your worth about 2.6 billion. Nice. Who is the real Mark Cuban? Do you contribute any money to needy causes? If so, why not make it more public instead of all the negative publicity you get. It seems to me that because of your status, everyone wants to take pop shots at you and stick it to you. And they always go after the loot. Jealousy at every corner. I have no money, and live on SSI. My girlfriend lives in a house that is in desperate need of remodeling, but can’t afford it. We try to accept the fact that some people have so much and others so little. The world is unfair. We understand that if you were to help everyone out you would end up with nothing. How do you do it? How do you refrain from saving the world? It must be a burden to be so financially secure.
