Barry Ritholtz's Secret Formula for Blogs

CE FACETI LUME

Barry Ritholtz is a joke. He gets great media face time on 2nd and 3rd rate media like Fox which people assume gives him credibility. NOT! If he were really successful he would be out making money not writing about it. Nice tie Barry.

great interview, very accurate actually

2nd & 3rd Rate Media ? You mean like ABC World News Tonite, or the front page of the NYT? I love guys like you! As long as haters like you -- and by that, I mean anonymous cowards too feeble to post under their own names -- are riled up, I know I am hitting my marks. Keep the hate mails coming --- you guys are the world's greatest contrary indicators!

Actually he does make quite a bit of money; I suspect enough that he is now pursuing his other interest of getting famous. Not unlike Jim Cramer, who used to be a hedge fund manager as well (got rich, and then got famous) except I'd say B.R. appears to have a heck of a lot more integrity (for now - those who pursue fame almost inevitably have to sacrifice integrity)...

Hey Aaron! Glad to see you in your new Yahoo! gig! For those of you who don't know--Aaron Task (formerly of TheStreet.com) is one of the best financial reporters around. He's a master of getting opinions out of people without offering too much of his own (that's why he'll be around for a good, long time). As for Barry, either you like him or you don't--I think he's brilliant. However, he may rub others differently. Give him a chance before you decide. Best, C in Japan

Hiya Aaron and Barry- You bet, it's Chad in Japan. Curzio is doing a good job filling in those big shoes Aaron behind. We'll have to grab him and finally do that mignon lunch someday in NYC! Frank can buy the beer ; Aaron- I remember a past e-mail (feeling "older" lately?). Anyhow, I miss your podcasts and easily finding you at TheStreet. Barry- Keep up the good, wonkish work (and humor). You called the down market a long time ago--people should give you credit for that. Posters- Both of these guys tow their lines and respond with very helpful e-mails (and I'm sure they got better things to do than help some "little guy" in Japan). Best to you both, Chad in Japan

Barry is one of the few legitimate bloggers out there in the fray with credibility and something meaningful to communicate. I wish more people like Barry would take a stand and add sound reason to what today is mostly useless banter throughout the blogoshere. Keep up the great posts, Barry!! P.S. Also, can you add me to your blogroll (www.startuphouston.com)? :)
