I had a chance to talk at length with Herb Greenberg today and it was a thrill for me.

Herb takes the stock market seriously and hates the shenanigans from management and boards. It’s America so he has been yelling into the wind most of his career.

Short sellers love him and management dreads his reporting wrath.

We chatted about Wallstrip’s brand building and it was cool to hear that he loves our irreverance (we try hard). Herb carries weight with me because he was one of the first big financial journalists (maybe the first) to leave newspaper and join the internet at thestreet.com .

I read his blog all the time and I have been remiss not to include it in my blogroll. It is more fun to read these days because I don’t get angry at trends anymore and try to fade them. All investors should check in on his blog now and than to get a look at stocks, CEO’s and the markets from more cynical eyes.

Today, he had a good post and link to Hussman, a great money manager, who reminds us of what happens after long bull runs.
