uBack of the Envelope
An ironed shirt is enough to trigger a blast of Christopher Byron 's bile across
the NY Observer's already
pan-fried financial pages.
Watch him react to chubby dot-commers. Poetic stakeburnings. |
New York Social Diary
After the per walk, what does one wear
on one's feet to the Cancer Clam Bake? Not the Hampton Jitney newsletter, this first rate
online chronicle brings the glamor back to the whitened teeth crowd, while remembering
yesterday's meals. |
DotComScoop
This well designed site presents daily
dot com news to the same audience as semi-rival fuckedcompany,
but the tone is more...legit?, as if this one will be around when the rubber-neckers have
passed. Trustworthy, though -- if you've got time for only one, generally pick this. |
Red Herring
Discussions
Informed, stimulating business chat -- this set of forums and organized research
enables one to get a vivid picture of what's the heck is going on, inside a half
hour. |
Stock
Detective
Watch this Bullshit Hound chase rats into sewers. Don't miss the I-told-you-so feature,
"Where Are They Now" in the "Stinkystocks" section. |
Biz
and Media Buzz
Celia McGee
Reportage aims for that gritty "I found it in the street and here it is" style
(that's Daily News' MO).
Mainstream gossip isn't too fancy here, just very readable. |
uMoneybox
Slate's money forum. The witty and wise gab about American companies, and there's a
bulletin board. Like the rest of Slate, but unlike parent MSN, far better than needed. |
uAsian Pacific
Management Forum
Not often that ambitious meets successful. Sophisticated, lively discussion, gossipy. For whispers-only
Asia, a wonder. |
Baltic Markets
Once, "foreign investors" poured thousands into the pockets of local
consultants and old hands, to be told they were screwed. Now that's free, here. OK,
kidding, I guess. But from this site flows the loose juice message boards, on Baltic oil,
banks 'nsuch. Site also offers a slew of other services. Like sitting at the hotel bar. |
uRaging
Bull
This investment portal came out on top when Slathered
stacked it against two of the best, Fool
and MSN Money.
Why? Fewer glib/hysterical journalists and creepy alliances, r/t quotes,
better message boards. And refreshingly honest: Huge advertiser? Gambling.com! And Beyond the Bull teeths on news till its
all gummy and wet. |
SEC Portal
If you own a piece of a listed company or are considering it and don't use this
site, you're nuts. (Recent filings, M&A
deals/tender offers, institutional ownership, reports, proxies, more.) See also Free Edgar. |
BubbleEconomy.com
Thomas Goetz
Know that feeling that creeps up on the back of your arm (or backs of your arms,
if you've got two) - the one that means it's time to call your broker and sell? You'll get
that at this . . . Portal to Hell. |
uFuckedCompany
The magazine Fast Company
picks out rising stars the New Economy. This site, as the name suggests, catches many of
the same firms on the way down. Sample from audience participation venue, Happy
Fun Slander Corner : "Buy.com: Saying these guys suck is an insult to people
that suck." |
uManhattan Transfers
Park Avenue Deb Alert! Which 35-year-olds can buy $2 million digs AND get past
the co-op board? Where, how? Now that's journalism...and another classic
Slathered resource! |

"Re: Re: MeritaNordbanken: Before acquiring office in
Riga, MNB Latvia opened a branch in Sigulda. Not Riga with a 1mill pop.; not in Ventspils
where half of Latvian money is sucked from Russian oil-pipe...they chose small resort
Sigulda, by the sea. Why? Big boss lives there. Conclusion: Don't get too excited about
irrational MNB."

"While
Monica Lewinsky was knitting handbags to sell at Henri Bendel on March 22, Rita Jenrette,
a Washington firecracker from an earlier generation, was cutting a deal to sell her
