The Reformed Broker began in November of 2008 and has become one of the most widely-read sites on the financial web.

This blog is about markets, politics, economics, media, culture, and finance. It uses statistics, satire, anecdotes, pop culture references, sarcasm, fact, fantasy, and any other device necessary to get points across.
