Barron's Commends The Biotech Stock Blog & Seeking Alpha

The 'Electronic Investor' column in this week's Barron's (sub. req.) focuses on researching healthcare and biotech stocks online. Columnist Kathy Yakal recognizes The Biotech Stock Blog -- and The Seeking Alpha Network in general -- as important resources:

Bloggers, of course, are all over biotech, but we found a lot of promising sites that had been abandoned. The Biotech Stock Blog (biotechstockblog.com), part of the rapidly growing Seeking Alpha Network of blog sites, is still kicking. Don’t come here looking for recommendations, but the blog’s editorial content, daily charts, and conference-call transcripts will give you some potentially profitable ideas.

Blogmaster Eric Muse has been a research analyst and trader specializing in health care for nine years, and roughly 80 active contributors (some of whom are well-known bloggers) pitch in with their own analysis. Seeking Alpha sites are extraordinarily well-conceived and executed, and their interactive nature and depth of contributions make for a lively mix of data and ideas.

Thanks for the recognition Kathy!
