As we just discussed james – techCrunch did an awful job reporting the news. You have tons of street cred and if the press release had your name, bloggers like me would have been excited. You are not just a hedge funbd manager. I have read your stuff for years.

Congrats and next time give your press release to the stock bloggers as well.

Well, in addition to Mark Cuban’s portfolio there’s about 20,000 other portfolios, including many quality hedge funds, mutual funds, and other investors. Additionally, we have trading system and spotlight portfolios that feature various strategies like “Dogs of the Dow”, “Amazon’s best selling products (the stocks for each product)”, etc.

Also, our Today’s Lists area highlights several screens and lists that people have found valuable and our blog posts (my blog) is something that even Howard has complimented on MyBlogLog (thanks!). The blog has links/stories about some of the top hedge funds out there and I plan to do many interviews with fund managers that I know (I run a fund of hedge funds).

People want ideas and they aren’t getting it from traditional media. This fills the gap.

> Since there is enough data to suggest most of us can’t pick stocks, a one stop shop for tracking guys who can beat the market is pretty cool.

Let’s see, I thought there was “enough data” to say these guys can’t beat the market either.

Surprised you didn’t comment on that ;-)

Their loss. It’s not over till the fat lady sings. I need to mention your product to the guys over there at TheStreet. I was unaware they were even looking in the space.

maybe the deal was more about relationships with the hedge m=fund entrepreneurs.

In a land where Mark Cuban is an investing expert, I am surely an investing GOD. So, I am fine with this story. TheStreet got it wrong by one letter, though… they should have endorsed StockTickr :-)
