Barron's Comments On 24/7 Wall St.

The following comments are from the Electronic Investor section of this week's Barron's. The author is Kathy Yakal.

EXPANDING THE CONVERSATION to the broader investing universe, 24/7 Wall St. (247wallst.com) bills itself as a "blog-aggregation site," since about 40% of the content comes from outside sources. But its original news and analytical content is top-notch, too.The site is run by a group of former print journalists, including Douglas McIntyre, formerly editor-in-chief and publisher of Financial World Magazine ("I wish we could have put news and opinion out this fast in the old days," he says). The site runs about 30 stories a day.

24/7 Wall St. draws from sources including Stock Market Beat (http://www.stockmarketbeat.com/), Value Discipline (valuediscipline.blogspot.com), and Gannon on Investing (http://www.gannononinvesting.com/).

The blog's original content is often lengthy and analytical, always well-written and capably argued.Recent posts delved into IBM's (ticker: IBM) expansion in China, Sun Microsystems' (SUNW) potential comeback and the effect of drooping home sales and construction on Home Depot's (HD) stock price. An especially critical post questions Morningstar's five-star Dell (DELL) rating.

24/7 updates just about, well, 24/7. As with the Kirk Report (http://www.kirkreport.com/), another stock-market blog and one of our favorites, you'll get a pretty good sense of which way the wind is blowing if you read it regularly.
