Financial Website Of The Day

Posted on April 15, 2007 by Chris F. Masse

Portfolio.com

I like it much.

#1. You can fish Felix Salmon there. (Cheap joke, I know. :) )

#2. You don’t need a Bear (Nouriel Roubini, his former employer) to catch your daily Salmon. (Second cheap joke, I know. :) Hey, it’s Sunday morning.)

I’ll probably get e-mails from some wet blankets because, in this present blog post, I have made two cheap jokes and, to add salt to injury, I’m publishing a picture that has nothing to do with prediction markets. Big crime.

    I sent the URL of your comment to Felix Salmon. He will love it. :)

    Portfolio has hired more than 75 editorial people for the magazine, 40 for its Web site, http://www.portfolio.com, and more than 45 on the business side. [...] The magazine’s Web site, which will be free, will contain all the articles in the magazine and report breaking news, much of it by Portfolio writers. Chris Jones, the site’s managing editor, said its bloggers would post three and five times a day. The site has elaborately produced videos and various interactive features. In conjunction with Condé Nast Traveler, the Web site will also tell readers things like the best place to make a deal in various cities, and which company’s employees like to stay in which hotels (in San Francisco, Yahoo likes the Clift, Mr. Jones said). For those readers headed to jail, portfolio.com offers prison advice: get dental work done in advance and don’t talk to the press. Still, the magazine is at the heart of the Portfolio enterprise and while some skeptics remain, they acknowledge that Portfolio is well positioned. [...]
