I had a great time sitting down with Henry Blodget to talk about the stock that made his name. Here, he tackles it all:
i'm with you snorri, who is the clown at yahoo who thought they should inflict this guy on unsuspecting investors? banned for life by the sec. oh, gee, here's someone we should present to the public with stock picks.
What's Yahoo doing bringing this creep on? the SOB has no integrity. So much for "Tech Ticker."
Blodget served no jail time at all - cut a deal with Spitzer: "a settlement with no admission of wrong doing" for "allegedly" giving assessments about stocks, which conflicted with what was publicly published. He paid a fine, then went on to work for so called 'news' site slate.com. I guess Mary Meeker, Abby J Cohen, Frank Quattrone, Andrew Melnick, or Jack Grubman weren't available, huh Yahoo?. I didn't think Blodget was allowed via the settlement to discuss this type of news...this doesn't fall under the 'banned from the securities industry for life' clause??? guess time heals all (except of course the the millions bilked out of individual investor retirement funds....) Nice, real nice.....
Blodget go back to the rock you crawled out from under. You were clearly wrong back then, so do not try to change it to become completely right.
is there any body out there can trust this SOB again?
"it's better to be clear and bold and wrong"?? blodget still thinks it's a pageant show. any nitwit can throw out fantasy share price targets to get attention. analysts are supposed to make sound, realistic assumptions of a stock's price for the benefit of investors - NOT for the sake of being bold or getting attention. what's next, Yahoo - Jeff Skilling's take on good corporate governance?? why is this freak show even on??

Nice to see Henry back! Stop blaming this guy, he was the scapegoat for all of the idiots that bought companies without researching them. Any tech investor back then violated all of the rules that previously stood the test of time (dividends, earnings history, earnings growth, etc). So stop getting mad at him. Great investors always blame themeselves for mistakes. If you want to be great, then own up to how sh*tty you were 8 ears ago and give this guy a break.
why is this guy Blodget here? this creep belongs in a jail for lifetime...why is he picking stocks again? what a tragedy!!! Can't Yahoo find any one else? my 2nd grader can pick stocks better than this shameless sob...go home creep...by the way thanks Yahoo for turning off your loyal customers with this shameless face...
So, Yahoo comes up with the new "tech ticker", and this idiot is what they come up with?? Why is this crook being unleashed on this new site? Sure doesn't give me much respect for this site, or its authors. A fricken joke.
I see lots of children making statements without any knowledge about investments or the techno world. Any individual with a name "al_gore_invented_hemorrhoids" has clearly stated his maturity level purely by his chosen name. Time to grow up son.
It's overwhelmingly disappointing to see him involved in this site. How can I possibly trust what's written here? Tech buzz? Nah, buzz kill. Bye-bye
Henry Blodgett should be embarrassed after what he did. This guy is nothing more than a sycophant for the investment bankers and brokerage firms. He took millions to be the face of the excess 90s. Now he is legitimized once again by Yahoo. I personally wont visit Tech Ticker again until he is gone.

I thought that Blodgett was in jail for his contribution to the tech meltdown. I was unpleasantly surprised to see him out, apparently in good condition, treated respectfully and shilling yet again.
