I'd have to say it's people on the DGRI InvestorVillage message boards. The same people who are not only currently "working" MDVX on Investorvillage but on every single MDVX board in existence. You can read about the particulars and the "players" on the Hotstockmarket MDVX site. Happy pumping! Oh that’s an easy question.

You're so good, I write more on your blog than my own. But I wish Barron's had a side item on the worst financial blogs and maybe I too could have gotten a few props. My three regulars would validate that no one maintains a blog like a run-down tenement as I do. Go CNBC Sucks! Yeah, you’re good, Ritholtz. You’re so good, I write more on your blog than my own.
