Pensions & Investments: Ranking the blogs
Editors give ‘The Big Picture’ first-place honors in competition for Internet’s best financial postings
>
Wow! Absurdly nice things from the Editors of Pensions&Investments, who in an obvious attempt to drive sales lower, put my frightening mug on the cover of this bi-week's magazine.
Apparently, this print edition and daily email newsletter held a competition of sorts, looking at all manners of financial and market blogs.
Their comments were kind and generous and all too complimentary:
"The site was one judge’s idea of “what a blog should be.” “Not boring. One of the best I've seen,” one judge wrote. “Sharp, fresh commentary ... great stuff,” another said.
I am humbled by their words, and it is an honor to be mentioned in the company of all of the blogs selected by P&I.
Here are P&I's rankings in their competition:
The Big Picture (Gold)
Infectious Greed (Silver)
DealBreaker (Bronze)
WSJ MarketBeat
Footnoted.org
Seeking Assholes
PE Hub
Nouriel Roubini’s Global EconoMonitor
All About Alpha
FT Alphaville
Pension Risk Matters
DealBook
Naked Shorts
There are many many other worthy blogs that were omitted, as you can see in my blog roll -- as well as those I ran out of room for!
Congrats to all.

OMG -- let's hope the magazine cover contrarian sell signal isn't tolling for The Big Picture.
Oh wait, that only happens when you make the cover of TIME magazine. Then your career is truly over.
So, congratulations.

Not surprised at all. Kudos to you and all involved.

"Sharp fresh commentary" apparently means to post graphs and make a snarky comment about how bad things are.
Noted.

Congrats, well earned. You and Mish are my prime sources of news on "When Economy's Go Bad".

Congratulations - others discover what we already know ( nod and a wink ).

Yes Timmy the truth does hurt...."snarky" or not... it's still reality.
How's those TIPS bonds mate???
Sorry Larry K can't be all places at all times.

Congrats BR. Yours really is a daily must look for me. You have some great regular posters too that have taught me things. Congrats again. But I do long for you to punch Kudlows head in!
Posted by: John | Jun 11, 2008 1:01:34 PM
Congrats and well deserved.
Posted by: BustaMove | Jun 11, 2008 1:02:44 PM
Nice. Blogs like yours are the future of the financial media.
In a world of dumbed down financial media bullshit; blogs are where important issues are discussed in a way that can add value.
Thanks for all the work you do!

Long-time reader, first-time poster. Richly deserved honor, Barry. TBP is a must-read, for the insight as well as the snarkiness! Keep up the great work.

Congrats, Barry. You deserve it.

It is a good blog, Barry. I also second what John posted at 1:01 about Kudlow.

Intelligence wins again! Woo hoo!
Nicely done, Barry.

In a world gone monetarily mad... ONE man will... tell the truth. Yeah, you deserve it.
Posted by: Ritchie | Jun 11, 2008 1:22:46 PM
Good Job. I also think you have the best financial blog on the net. Some day I hope my blog will be as great as Barry's. He sets a high standard.

Congrats...now keep it up!
Posted by: Jack | Jun 11, 2008 1:26:22 PM
Barry,
Congratulations! And well deserved. I know that you're one of my first "blog stops" every morning for inciteful commentary and solid fact-based analysis.

I thoroughly enjoy the blog but might this be a contrary indicatory?
The BP starts receiving awards and increased traffic and the quality goes to hell.
