So yeah, I stole the idea... big frigging whoop.
"Best Stock Market Blog Post" Award, 2007.
You worked hard all year blogging for pennies. You blogged and random idiots hiding behind weird Internet names said hateful things to you.
You were, in short, under-appreciated.
Still, you managed to come up with some great stuff. You looked the haters and non-believers in the eye and shook them with doubt.
With that I present your favorite posts of 2007, as chosen by those who wrote them.
