Sharesleuth is Up and Running and..... we'll see...

Sharesleuth.com, the new stock-probing website, is up and running.

I and others have screamed and yelled about how its sugar daddy, basketball magnate Mark Cuban, plans to take positions in stocks rooted out by his sharesleuths.

I hope Cuban finds another toy more interesting and quietly fades away. Then his sleuths can do their sleuthing in peace and quiet, untarnished by brilliant Cuban ideas like front-running his own reporters.

Look at it this way: If an idea can be correctly criticized by CJR Daily's increasingly off-base Audit section, it really must be a bad idea.
