There is a great QA with Herb Greenberg over at TheKirkReport. A few snips from the article: … Kirk: For good or for ill, how do you see financial journalism evolving with the use of blogs and other social media?

Christian no longer crossposts here, but he’s still an investor geek, blogging great stuff over at his blog at devspace.com. Here are a few articles I found interesting: Why “You Should Have Known Better” Does Not Cut It! Why The Republicans are Wrong To Block the SEC! Why We Are Not Buying Apple IPads WRT (more…)
I am currently reading The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life in bits and pieces. It’s very entertaining. This is not the type of book I would normally purchase or maybe even pick up at the library. I’m as interested in Warren Buffet as anybody, but this thing is pretty thick and daunting. (more…)

I will be continuing my posting on my own blog at http://www.happyasahippo.com. If you wish to follow me, head on over there, otherwise it was (more…)
