Harrison says his bearish commentary on tech stocks resonated with readers, and he soon became a featured columnist.[5]
In May 2014, Todd Harrison announced he was "looking for a new business model" stating the online media model is 'broken', and was putting Minyanville up for sale. Not necessarily to a competing media outfit, but ideally to a financial institution. Harrison was looking to turn Minyanville into an outlet that isn't depending on ads or chasing web traffic purely for traffic's sake[6]
Later in 2014, Minyanville was acquired by T3Live / T3Trading, the digital content and reader community absorbed there and the website shut down.[7]
