The Abnormal Returns book is a year old (and hopefully still relevant)

The Abnormal Returns book is a year old (and hopefully still relevant):
A year ago today my book Abnormal Returns: Winning Strategies from the Frontlines of the Investment Blogosphere debuted. Writing and publicizing the book was a great experience. I am grateful to those in the media and blogosphere who saw fit to either host me during my “blog tour” or those who took the time to write a review. You can find a lists of both of these below.
Most of all I am thankful to everyone who spent their hard-earned money on the book.* I hope that it has been worth your time and money. A year in I am still citing things I wrote in the book in blog posts. Just yesterday I quoted myself in a post I wrote about taking a “news diet.”  Hopefully this demonstrates that some of the ideas I discuss in the book are still relevant today. The book may not have burned up the bestseller charts, but I will take that as a moral victory.
*A year in now you can get a hardback copy of the book from sellers on Amazon at a deep discount.
