Borchardt leaving TheStreet.com

Debra Borchardt, a senior producer and markets analyst at TheStreet.com, is leaving the financial news service after eight years.

Her last day will be this Thursday. Borchardt’s new job will be doing research for Stansberry & Associates, where she will work with Frank Curzio, who wrote a “stocks-under-$10” newsletter for TheStreet.

Before entering business journalism, Borchardt spent 15 years at Bear Stearns. Borchardt’s work experience covered such diverse areas as equities, fixed income and mutual funds with her last position in the clearing side of the business vetting money managers.

During her Wall Street years, she also worked as an actress appearing regularly in the soap opera “As The World Turns” and working as an extra on “Saturday Night Live.” She left the securities business to get her master’s degree in economic reporting at New York University.

As senior producer, Borchardt was responsible for the quality and content of the videos at TheStreet, which produces 500 video reports a month. She is a frequent guest on :The Today Show,” CNBC, “Nightly Business Report” and “ABC News Now.”
