re: TSCM. I don't know about Greenberg, but Lashinshky hasn't ever written a word I"ve found useful. He's a recycled gossip columnist from our local paper, the San Jose Mercury News. His specialty is "silicon valley insider" stuff, only it's often way off-base. For example, recently he was beating up Cisco in the paper for only having $18,000 per employee productivity, until a reader kindly wrote in explaining he was off by a few zeros. Another favorite of his is to pick an executive to "pick on" about their compensation/options - he has chosen some of the most inappropriate to pick on. Not exactly the sort of info I'm looking to pay for, to learn from ;) -Steve

The word from writers like Cramer is by, for, and about the OPM'er crowd, while GBS and IBD slant toward the DIY'er. There's room for a good rag tailored to the DIY trader; thestreet.com doesn't really fit the bill. I read it to see where the elephants are grazing but as someone mentioned here a couple of times, they seem to have deliberately, for some reason, hired deficient writers on the DIY side. Of course, as Ogden Nash allegedly said, there are two kinds of people: those who divide the world into two kinds of people, and those who don't...
