Good Morning, Wall Street

After having spent the better part of two years immersing myself in the world of blogs and online content, I can't believe I am finally taking a crack at creating some of this content myself. My commitment to you, the reader, is to always be honest, to always speak my mind and to hopefully provide you with some thoughts and perspectives that cause you to think a little bit differently about things. I will also try to post a few days a week, unless circumstances (read: events) cause me to post somewhat more frequently. The purpose of this blog is to discuss issues relevant to Wall Street, specifically as they relate to investors and even more specifically as they relate to the value of information and how the internet has changed the way information is created, communicated, disseminated and acted upon by investors. As someone who spent 17 years on Wall Street in the areas of M&A, Derivatives and Trading, and after having spent two years immersing myself in the world of the internet, I feel like I might have something to add to the robust dialogue taking place across the blogosphere and in traditional print and video media concerning the value of web data and its impact on the investment process. I hope you'll come to think so, too.

Let me apologize in advance for fat fingers/misspellings, poor diction or if you think my posts suck. I am new at this and will do my best. Please send me comments with thoughts, suggestions or any advice you might have. I truly appreciate it.
