I give the guy crap because he covers the most popular topics du jour, hasn’t been returning my emails as of late and for some unknown reason, still hasn’t received the copy of my book I’ve now sent him multiple times, but Big Picture Barry Ritholz is not only the world’s top investment blogger, he’s also 100% dead on about the blogging world and Adsense in this Yahoo! Tech Ticker Interview:

Key takeaways: Blogging success comes from being a hard ass, being opinionated and clearly expressing your points

Bloggers don’t have to be objective, we’re not journalists!

Financial journalism is a joke—journalism majors just report the news as they’re told, they don’t realize business/finance news can be skewed

I really gotta press home this last point, you should only listen to people who have continually proven their abilities to make money in the markets, their opinions matter, you can learn from the way they view the world, not the lemmings who report simply for a paycheck

Now you can Twitter any questions/comments to TIMhelp and obviously you can follow TIM on twitter too!

   Is the “Sykes pattern” the same thing as a “super nova”?

   Al, great find on SCON, its got a ways to go before being a supernova, but its a nice momentum play.

   Sykes pattern, supernova, yes, all the same, big microcrap runup on hype, fading volume, big rundown, simple

   Tim,
   How do you do your advertising, if not AdSense.

   Also, check out ARTX…third up day in a row, up about 50% over past 2 weeks, although it’s illiquid.

   My guess is you traded SOLF today.

    Watching ARTX, GLOB has a ways to go maybe, COT had an ANALyst upgrade that shot it up with the John Q Public’s, whats the consensus on these? QBIK and SYBD have reversed nicely today too…….

    well I just took my profit at $4.50

    I guess I realize now that if I feel I want a second opinion on taking profit… I should just take it and run

    lesson learned, and fortunately it was a profitable lesson…
