We don’t want your help because maybe we don’t need itPeter Boockvar
While yesterday's US stock market close was poor, Asia and Europe didn't follow today as debt in Greece, Spain, Portugal, etc... rallied, their CDS narrowed and stocks bounced. The Greek finance minister said January tax revenues came in above expectations and that spending was below target for the month and said "that means the deficit reduction for January is well within what we have promised." The euro is rising in turn. Also helping is the story that Trichet is headed to the European Union leaders summit a day early in order to address Greece's problems even as the Greek finance...

Ritholtz, there is a missing category of financial blogger there, and that category is “Sexy”. The Great CNBC Sucks would be the standard bearer of that category.
Speaking of “sexy”, here is my sexy girlfriend Maureen’s interview with your bowling buddy, Gaspy “Gasbag” Gasparino. Tell Ratigan that she is distinctly off-limits…

What happened to 10 links?

Consider yourself a rare earth element.
Missing Paul Kruman’s category, Nobel Laureates.

Speaking of bloggers…

The periodic table would have been way cooler if all the “elements” were links. The good news is the accompanying article has links:

Great source for information. I never miss PK. The best out there regarding statistical thinking. A mix of market and off beat subjects. And of course look who’s number one on the list!

Evil Speculator is missed.
http://www.evilspeculator.com
Can’t leave molecool off of this table……
November 4th, 2009 at 7:00 pm
And I should add…..
Leave it to a broker to miss The Big Picture…..

one may have thought that they’d have hewn, more closely, to the delineations of the Periodic Table (i.e. the right-hand Column, being Home to the “Inerts”/”Noble Gas(bags)”, could have been, well, represented by the MSM constituents..)
as well, (t)BP’s placing is among the ‘Rare Earths’ (?)

http://chemicalelements.com/
though, thinking about it, some more, it’d be ~im-probable/-possible to pull off..

Surprised Karl Denniger didn’t make the Peanut Gallery.

I’ve always wondered why bloggers spend so much time writing about themselves. I don’t see that in other forms of media.
November 4th, 2009 at 7:34 pm
I can’t believe they didn’t something with AU, given all the nuts… er… a… conservative investors in the only true currency.
November 4th, 2009 at 7:50 pm
Taibbi grouped with the Establishment?
HuffPost I can see, sure. But Taibbi?
I call bullshit……

@Bob — many musical plays are about putting on musical plays. Most TV is about twenty-somethings from broken homes in LA. MOST fiction writers write about themselves.
Fiction writers. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm……….

Rare earths…Avalon…Mickey Fulp…Inca Kola News- here’s a link to a very fine bit of analysis:

Current action in QUC has been eye-opening. Their Quebec site seems to be the real deal.
DMM.to- worth a look.
@CNBC et al- having a little fun is good for all, but let’s not turn this place into Sesame Street- makes me miss Otto von Whateverhisnamewassenshaft.
November 4th, 2009 at 8:35 pm
@6pack- agreed. Glaring omission.

So, Evil Speculator didn’t even make the list? Looks like someone is missing the BIG PICTURE when it comes to financial bloggers – LOL
You’re getting old Ritholtz – the new generation has moved on!
November 4th, 2009 at 9:35 pm
Which of you guys is inert gas?
November 4th, 2009 at 9:44 pm

thx 4 the shout out Barry…
I admit, Evil Speculator was a big oversight, as were EconomPic Data and Financial Armageddon, we’ll get ‘em on the next iteration.
@bob, I suppose that like any other nascent subculture still trying to figure out its identity, finance bloggers are given to frequent bouts of solipsism. Lame but true, i know.
@McMia…Taibbi entered the finance blogosphere as a Rolling Stone guy, which is mainstream media, although he blogs for True/ Slant, which is decidedly not. oops.
thx to all who checked it out.

Hoffer: Your comment….inert vs. noble gas bags. Love it. Still laughing.
November 4th, 2009 at 11:45 pm
ottovbvs…that’s a name from the past. I swear I thought he was Harry Wanger, but I refuse to play that game.
@ Andy T: I think you are mixing up your Republicans and Libertarians there, my FF buddy and fellow runner. That great inert gas comment was by Bruce. I think Ritholtz might be gas, but not sure how inert. I enjoyed your post on Darren Rovell on the Sigma Nu blog and was glad you were able to pick up Ryan Moats. It will be interesting to see if Slaton keeps his job.

Yankees won! Yankees won! Big #28! Take that, bitches!
I wish I gave a damn about baseball…

They forgot Denninger and Michael Panzner (Financial Armageddon).
November 5th, 2009 at 4:51 am
Ooops…looks like they do have denninger. But they missed Nouriel Roubini’s RGE Monitor and MSN Money
November 5th, 2009 at 6:08 am

November 5th, 2009 at 7:58 am
A splendid Alchamaic formula!

November 5th, 2009 at 8:18 pm
They left out Karl Denninger’s MARKET TICKER, a blog that cuts through the bull%$%#, a good daily read
November 5th, 2009 at 10:39 pm
Where is “Daily Options Report by Adam Warner?
