It’s a little late for Spring Cleaning, but it is time to clear out some books here at Abnormal Returns HQ. Two reasons. One is that I am sick of looking at a big stack of relatively new finance books in my office. Second, I don’t have any time to read any new books because I am writing a book of my own.
I recently signed a contract with McGraw-Hill to write an investment book based in part on things I have learned in the past five, almost six years, in blogging here at Abnormal Returns. The book is tentatively titled: Abnormal Returns: Successful Strategies from the Frontlines of the Investment Blogosphere. The first draft is progressing, with about 33% of it written to-date. Look for it everywhere, and I mean everywhere, in 2012.
A quick moment of thanks. I would not be in the position to write a real book were it not for the support I have received over the life of this blog. Abnormal Returns has garnered its share of accolades over time, but the kind words from readers are the best e-mails we receive. So as a way of thanks I want to conduct another book giveaway.
