I Am A Ubiquitous Media Whore

August 15, 2011 10:30am by Barry Ritholtz

Pardon the Altucher headline^®, but I had to comment on the utterly insane media tear I’ve been on lately. I would tell you to blame my PR person — but I have never used one.*

For those of you who are sick of hearing my “dulcet tones” (ie, nasal NY accent), I am about to embark on a self-imposed media blackout until after Labor Day. Other than a few prior commitments — filling in for Pete Dominick as guest host f0r XMSR POTUS 124 the next 2 Wednesdays, and the regular WP column — I need to step away from the mike and focus on watching this rather intriguing market. Hey, the summer’s coming to a close and we all need to go back to school.

If you care to see just how insane this run has been, the media scorecard just for the first half of August is after the jump.
