Big Picture Barry Ritholtz Gives A Damn Fine Interview

Posted by timothysykes on Fri 28th of Mar, 2008 12:36:13 PM

I give the guy crap because he covers the most popular topics du jour, hasn’t been returning my emails as of late and for some unknown reason, still hasn’t received the copy of my book I’ve now sent him multiple times, but Big Picture Barry Ritholz is not only the world’s top investment blogger, he’s also 100% dead on about the blogging world and Adsense in this Yahoo! Tech Ticker Interview:

Key takeaways: Blogging success comes from being a hard ass, being opinionated and clearly expressing your points

Bloggers don’t have to be objective, we’re not journalists!

Financial journalism is a joke—journalism majors just report the news as they’re told, they don’t realize business/finance news can be skewed

I really gotta press home this last point, you should only listen to people who have continually proven their abilities to make money in the markets, their opinions matter, you can learn from the way they view the world, not the lemmings who report simply for a paycheck

    AKNS nice 5k bid @ 7.8 ah. Anyone want to short into it?
  • Jason R.
    Max, good trade!...You never loose taking profits in this market.
  • Max
    well I just took my profit at $4.50

    I guess I realize now that if I feel I want a second opinion on taking profit... I should just take it and run

    lesson learned, and fortunately it was a profitable lesson...
  • Anyone ride HALO down too? :)
  • Watching ARTX, GLOB has a ways to go maybe, COT had an ANALyst upgrade that shot it up with the John Q Public's, whats the consensus on these? QBIK and SYBD have reversed nicely today too.......
  • Max
    conundrum:
    short bpax @ 4.70 - should I take profits now at 4.33ish or hold till monday?
  • Davey

  • Tony Ellis
    ASTI
  • tremendous move in GLOB.ob these past few days. 22% today. probably going to crack today?
  • Alex
    Tim,
    How do you do your advertising, if not AdSense.

    Also, check out ARTX...third up day in a row, up about 50% over past 2 weeks, although it's illiquid.

    My guess is you traded SOLF today.

    Al, great find on SCON, its got a ways to go before being a supernova, but its a nice momentum play.

    Sykes pattern, supernova, yes, all the same, big microcrap runup on hype, fading volume, big rundown, simple
  • Mike
    Is the "Sykes pattern" the same thing as a "super nova"?
  • Al
    Tim,
    I'm way off
  • Al
    Tim,

    SCON - what do you think, possible super nova forming?
