By Dominic Jones on April 4, 2008

Sun's Schwartz sparks storm over ticker change

By Dominic Jones on August 24, 2007

By Dominic Jones
WHY should CEOs and boards of directors blog? Because it gives them feedback — real, honest, heartfelt feedback — they would otherwise never get. It keeps them in touch with the real world, something that’s easily lost after just a few months in the rarefied atmosphere of mahogany row.
I’m marveling right now at [...]

By Dominic Jones on January 4, 2007

By Dominic Jones
(Note: this post has been revised to add my views on stockpickr from an individual investor perspective.)
THE news release doesn’t do this new site justice. I spent about 30 minutes looking it over and near the end I was convinced that it was worth my while to go back when I have more [...]
