The 10-q Detective, David Phillips
Accounting, Filings, Research
Former research analyst points out interesting things from company filings. Unfortunately he's been getting a little political lately (I have other blogs for that) but he still finds some interesting stuff and his style has informed who I look for details in 10-Qs and Ks.

Footnoted, Michelle Leder

Like 10-Q detective pulls interesting stuff from company filings, with a big emphasis on compensation info. Now owned by Morningstar.
