Dan Dorfman (October 24, 1931 – June 16, 2012) was an American financial journalist, at one time a columnist for the New York Sun newspaper.
He also was a CNN financial news commentator in the 1980s,[1] and a columnist for The Wall Street Journal early in his career.
"[8] Dorfman was dismissed from a job writing a column at Money magazine in 1995 for refusing to disclose his sources to his editor.
[9] In 2006, Lazlo Birinyi, a Forbes magazine columnist, compared Jim Cramer's ability to move stocks with television commentary to Dorfman's mid-1990s appearances on CNBC.
[11] In 2008 Dorfman had been writing a column for the New York Sun, but in October 2008 his bylined articles ended.
