Inventing the new research

Added to my newsreader today, and recently highlighted in David Jackson's excellent Seeking Alpha, is Inventing Money, by a shadowy figure named Slash, who is pretty clearly an investment pro (if he isn't he should be), and who has a clear predilection for chips, though not exclusively. Is Slash the Rance of the Wall Street world? I think the proof that he is genuine is in the description of the blog in the masthead, which almost reads like a broker's disclaimer. Maybe it's tongue-in-cheek. How does Mr. Spitzer, despite his numerous positive qualities and best intentions, deal with the identity issue on the internet? This is decentralized media at its best - enjoy it while it lasts.
