If you never watched Wallstrip last year, and you’re a fan of investing, you really missed something special.
Wallstrip was a video blog that focused usually on a specific stock or issue. It covered the Apple iPhone, the auto bailout, and plenty of other high flying stocks and topics.
Wallstrip was acquired by CBS (for a rumored cool 5 million) in May of 2007 when stocks were still going strong and a “TARP” was still a plastic cover.
Things have changed. 401K’s have been ripped to shreds. My Dad says he “plans on working until he is 90″. He was only slightly joking.
Wallstrip was probably never profitable. CBS has scrapped the regular schedule of Wallstrip.
Even though I’m not a traditional investor any longer, I love following the markets. I also think there are new and more exciting ways to “invest” than ever before, ala Lending Club.
I’d actually love to do a video blog like Wallstrip. I’d probably do more of a layman’s approach to investing. I’d look for ideas outside the “buy and hold” box that we are told over and over again. I’m big fans of both Howard Lindzon’s blog as well as Fred Wilson’s VC blog, and they were both involved with Wallstrip.
Any other Wallstrip fans missing new episodes?
