Financial pugilism and offbeat analysis vie for space in blogosphere?

Agreed. I used to be a namby pamby passive financial neophyte who got his ass kicked every time he acted on something he read in the financial press or heard on CNBC. Now look at me. I’m handsome and not broke. I’m a winner, thanks to TBP.

Hey BR! How about some crumbs for the pigeons, like another “significant directional change” call?

Clearly, CalculatedRisk must be dealt with.

Thanks for keeping it up! It is one of the few sites that I used multiple times a day. It’s like having an extra set of eyes on all the news/blogs/etc.

I do miss the jazz though. Hope you bring back some of the fun with the new version

Congrats to Barry!!!

The next big question to debate is whether the people that have become famous for being out front for this bear market will they be able to get positive when the time comes? Can Roubini call the recovery? Seems hard to believe, or at least that is the case we made here:

It just seems like the stars of the next big trend will not be the stars of this trend.. so the question is how long will people hang on every word out of Roubini, Whitney, Taleb.. etc…

A bit of trivia from WSJ recently:

There are 20 million bloggers, out of which 1.7 M make part of their income from blogging and for nearly 0.5M bloggers, it is their primary source of income! There is no specific break down re Fin Blogs.

And if you want to know more precisely (by which I mean more scientifically) just what I meant by outliers you might google:

wikipedia haplogroup R1b (y-dna).

And you might actually learn some pretty interesting science. Science, moreover, that’s having real effects on business – which will only grow.
