Whitney Tilson is back. But not as an investor -- he’s going into the research business.

The former hedge fund manager announced Friday that he’s launching Empire Financial Research with "old friend" Porter Stansberry and Stansberry Research. Empire will provide “advice, commentary and in-depth research and analysis to help people around the world become better investors,” Tilson said in an email.
