How do you stay interested in the market when every day brings more bad news? Well, sometimes, particularly in down markets, I want my news snarky and mixed with a little gossip.
In the vein of a New York Post or Valleywag, Dealbreaker.com brings a tabloid sensibility to financial blogs. And like any good tabloid, once Dealbreaker gets hold of a hot story, they pound it and pound it, often uncovering details that others miss. This afternoon, in a span of about 2 hours, they offered five posts on Lehman. The posts ranged from deep, informative stories to tasty tidbits – one indicated that the latest deal on the table for Lehman was to sell half of its Neuberger Berman asset management division, while another aimed to dispel rumors that Goldman had refused to serve as counterparty to Lehman trades and a third contemplated what could be behind the firm's silence all day.
Topics covered gleefully by Dealbreaker include banking culture, business school follies, M&A and layoffs. But don’t let Dealbreaker’s snarky voice lead you to believe that there’s no meat inside. Just as the New York Post often breaks compelling business news, Dealbreaker is well-connected and often gets the scoop on key events.
Dealbreaker serves up meaty financial news with a side of snarkiness. Dealbreaker’s gossip may provide a guilty pleasure, but no need to hide your screen from your peers – there’s plenty of useful information inside.
