As you might have heard, I’m moving my blog from Portfolio to Reuters. The new blog will be here, and the Reuters RSS feed will be here. But if you read my by subscribing to the felixsalmon.com “all posts” feed, … Continue reading →

The blogosphere has lost one of its greats. As Tanta’s prolific partner, Bill McBride, explains, it was cancer which brought Doris Dungey into blogging, and it is cancer which has taken her from us all, at the cruelly young age … Continue reading →

This is linkbait of the highest order: yet another ranking of econoblogs. But to celebrate my 3,000th blog entry (it’s actually up to 3,011 now) I’ll pat myself on the back by linking to it anyway. I’m astonished to find … Continue reading →

I’m going to be travelling by train, plane, and foot for most of the coming week, which means that posting will be sporadic and confined to times when I have an internet connection. Still, nothing major ever happens in August, … Continue reading →

Just in time to avoid the aftermath of the dreadful Merrill results, I’m off on holiday. (Although it’s worth noting that the shares "sinking" 9% in after-hours trade only brings them back to where they closed yesterday.) There won’t be … Continue reading →

I’ve gone and caught some kind of nasty stomach bug, but fingers crossed it’s getting slowly better now. Blogging will be infrequent today, and then nonexistent from Friday, when I take a break in the south of France; back in … Continue reading →

At the end of the most hectic week in Market Movers’ year-long history, I’m off on holiday for the rest of the month. Posting will be sporadic at best for the remainder of March, and likely nonexistent until Wednesday. Unless … Continue reading →

Blogger disaster! I spent all Friday without any email, and it’s looking increasingly as though it’s not going to get fixed until Thursday at the earliest. This is going to be interesting – especially as I’m meant to be going … Continue reading →

I’m back! Didja miss me?

Yves Smith of Naked Capitalism submits: As you may know, Felix Salmon has been so kind as to give me the keys to the castle while he is away on holiday for the next few weeks. It’s particularly sporting of … Continue reading →

Market Movers has only been live for just over five weeks, and already we’ve

Lockhart Steele is not much of a crusader, it would seem: he will fight for FreshDirect delivery on the Lower East Side only until they start delivering to him. Then, he’ll just give up: his latest post completely fails to … Continue reading →

Welcome to the new-look felixsalmon.com! The incomparable Stefan Geens has installed the excellent Movable Type onto my server, and what you see now is the result. It’s going to take me a little while to move all my old postings … Continue reading →

So I got something approaching a proper reply from mail.com. (If you don’t know what I’m talking about, I wrote about it in January, but suffice to say that they promised me a free-for-life email forwarding service, and then told … Continue reading →
