Cuban’s Shareslueth

I’m a big fan of Cuban. Probably because he’s a bright guy who says what he means and if you can’t handle it, tough. Because his net worth is so astronomically high, he doesn’t have a problem getting fined $500,000 for post-game comments about the sorry state of affairs with the NBA referee system.

His latest endeavor is Shareslueth.com. It’s an intriguing idea that’s got the status quo crowd up in arms. (Many because they didn’t think of it first.) The idea is that they research companies who are dirty, then short their stock and publish the results. What’s wrong with that? Nothing but people like this guy have an axe to grind.

Cuban’s desire to openly reveal the results of this experiment should calm most people, but there will always be those jealous people who will always look at those with more as somehow evil.
