TBP’s 30 Most Influential Finance Sources

September 26, 2011 5:00pm by Barry Ritholtz

Last week, I lamented that the Bloomberg 50 was a disappointingly obvious list (the event was quite good, however).

Following that (Meh!) complaint, I asked readers who was their most influential managers, thinkers, traders and strategists — who impacted their trading, thinking and investment process more than the rest of the chattering classes.

For obvious reasons, I excluded myself & TBP (the sample group of TBP is biased).

Well, you responded in force. Almost 500 votes were submitted for 90+ people. The list ranged far and wide, with many nominees. I thought it was more intriguing than the Business Week piece, with far less sell side names and far more interesting, thoughtful suggestions. Kudos to TBP readers for your intriguing perspectives.

This is the list you, the home viewer, came up with:

	Asset Managers	Researcher/Strategists	Media/Blogs
1.	Jeremy Grantham	James Grant	Naked Capitalism
2.	Jim Rogers	Robert Shiller	John Mauldin
3.	John Hussman	Lakshman Achuthan	Paul Krugman
4.	George Soros	Marc Faber	ZeroHedge.com
5.	Hugh Hendry	David Rosenberg	Calculated Risk
6.	Bill Gross	Chris Whalen	Jesse’s Café Américain
7.	Felix Zulauf	Gary Shilling	Mish
8.	Seth Klarman	James Montier	Peter Brandt
9.	Bill Fleckenstein	Louise Yamada	Robert Prechter
10.	Howard Marks	Nouriel Roubini	FT Alphaville
