Welcome!

Hi, I'm Barry Ritholtz. I'm the Chief Investment Officer for Ritholtz Capital Partners, a private investment fund. I also write the weekly Market Commentary for Ritholtz Research, an independent research firm for institutional investors covering macro economics, trends, monetary, technical and sentiment issues.

We offer a free version of this commentary to the public -- You can subscribe by sending an email here.

When I'm not writing market commentaries, I maintain The Big Picture, a popular economics/market blog. Its received lots of accolades in the press: The Wall Street Journal featured The Big Picture as the only economics blog in What the In-Crowd Knows: From Hollywood to Wall Street, Our Guide to the Blogs Insiders Read to Stay Current; BusinessWeek noted our "insightful calls on the direction of the stock market . . . it makes for a lively mix" (Blogging For Dollars); and Barron's called the Big Picture "well worth it;"

If I'd enjoyed writing dry, unimaginative prose . . . well, then I'd still be practicing law. So if you're looking for dry, run-of-the-mill market observations, you've come to the wrong place -- Expect the unexpected.

If you've got something to say, then by all means please do.

.

Best Wishes,

.

Note: As of January 3, 2006, I am no longer affiliated with Maxim Group or the Maxim Group Advisory.
