I was actually curious on your timezone… I read this thread about a half hour after you posted it, but that was saturday night at 1:30am… Anyhow, interesting article. Although I strongly disagree with the argument… If research can’t pay its own way, why should it exist? It will reach its equilibrium…

I cant belive that fellow Henry Blodget has a job on Yahoo tech ticker…

I am not questioning the legitamacy but the ethics of yahoo finance… he not only interviews but comments on happenings…for eg… latest infamous comments are like the ones that he made on Steve Jobs health just before Apples earnings…

i like clusterstock.
