Ritholtz Wealth Management CEO Josh Brown has closed out his longtime blog, The Reformed Broker, announcing on X, formerly Twitter, on Wednesday: "This is the end."
In a final blog post, Brown said the site will be "inactive, forever," after Wednesday, and indicated he has evolved and will be writing in a different forum.
When Brown started the blog in November 2008, he explained, he was "a washed up stock broker at 31 years old in the middle of a global financial crisis," with a negative net worth and no career prospects.
Since he started writing, millions of readers have visited the blog, Brown said, adding that he owes his career, firm and livelihood to those who've stuck with it.
Increasing work demands meant the blog took a back seat, but now that the firm has hired a president to take on some of Brown's daily responsibilities, the CEO aims to get back to writing — but not at The Reformed Broker.
