One of the great pleasures of doing Abnormal Returns is discovering new blogs and bloggers. Oftentimes those bloggers burn out, quit or get real jobs. Sometimes they go on to do bigger and better things. I don’t remember exactly when I first came across Josh Brown’s The Reformed Broker blog, but I knew a good thing when I saw it. Josh is now a multimedia finance superstar and is the author the bestselling book Backstage Wall Street. Josh is a friend, fellow StockTwits Network blogger and McGraw-Hill author.  Josh is also an inveterate linker with a fertile imagination. In lieu of our daily linkfest we hope you enjoy an edition of Josh’s “fantasy links” that looks an awful lot like our daily linkfest.

One morning, I’ll open my eyes and be treated to this linkfest on Abnormal Returns – and it shall be a great day indeed.
