Blodget Blogging
It used to be that people in need of refashioning themselves after a crash would enter rehab and/or appear on Oprah. Now they start a blog. My favorite example is Henry Blodget, whose InternetOutsider blog is fascinating reading. The irony of the blog's title is heightened by such posts as $500. $600. $2,000. Do I Hear $10,000? $0?, in which he makes the bear case for Google. For those who spent the late Nineties under a rock, Blodget was the poster boy (what a great cliche) for the Dot-Com stock craze, when he was a stock analyst for Merrill Lynch. His most famous call was a $400 price target for Amazon. Now that he is coming back after being knocked out of the game, his writing has a humility and gentleness that is refreshing. Definitely aggregator worthy.
