Interesting website that compiles analyst commentary and media coverage on stocks:
Street Pulse, finds comments by sell-side, industry and credit research analysts and melds those with comments from respected bloggers in an effort to answer the question “what do key opinion leaders have to say…” about a given company.
Deal Pulse* compiles the latest news on rumored, announced and completed M&A transactions. Uncovers deal ideas and rumors from all corners of the web.
Weak Pulse* displays news articles and blog posts that highlight distressed companies, such as those “seeking strategic alternatives,” announcing layoffs, filing for bankruptcy or restructuring

I like their concept of a quotability rating. They pick up my stuff when I write about companies, but not when I write about macroeconomics.

More than $16.9 million in so-called relief payments will be distributed this week, with each check written for over $6,000.
“These checks will make a significant difference for Floridians who are trying to save their homes,” said Attorney General McCollum, in a statement. “This will provide real relief to struggling homeowners and families.”
The big question is how many of the affected homeowners actually still own their homes (or are at least current on the mortgages), given the fact they’re located in foreclosure-riddled Florida.
The AG was also awarded $4 million to fund a foreclosure defense assistance program; the first funds were distributed in late 2009…”
good ol’ CFC, still kickin’, kickin’ back U$D ~6 000 to former Customers they’ve cost, how much to?, while the AG keeps ~20% for his Firm, nice~

and, this: “…Shady lenders, shady practices, questionable loans, poor standards, and not government regulation allowed these rogue companies to ruin the United States. Job losses, falling home prices, and foreclosures followed…”
