The Loeb Wire

By Paul Kedrosky · Friday, November 11, 2005 ·
I said a few days ago that I had a new little tool/service/thingie I had written to which I was about to give people access. While that's getting closer, I thought I'd slice off a corner of it and give people a fun little new feed.

Now and then fund manager Daniel Loeb of Third Point writes screeds to investee companies. There are lots of fun ones, and I've pointed to a number of them here. The trouble is, however, that to keep track of when Loeb writes these things you need to go dumpster-diving now and then through SEC Edgar filings. That's boring, so I wrote a script to watch for Third Point filings, scan 'em for letters, and extract them once found. Better yet, every new Loeb letter is poured in full into into an RSS feed, one that I'm calling Loeb Wire.

You can find the "live" Loeb Wire here. While you can click on the link and get a look at it via Feedburner, if you're really interested you should copy the URL and add it your list of feeds in your favorite newsreader. And if it doesn't work for you, let me know.
