There are blogs on nearly every single topic you can imagine and trading is no exception. Today I will share with you blogs I enjoy reading and blogs that will make you a better trader. If you have been living under a rock for the past 5 years a blog is:
“A website where entries are written in chronological order and commonly displayed in reverse chronological order. “Blog” can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.” Source wikipedia
Blogs are growing at a phenomenal rate as they allow individuals to have a powerful voice. The growth of blogs is highlighted in the chart below:

Trader X’s blog has been dormant for months Glenn, Am I missing something besides his old posts?
November 30th, 2007 at 11:20 pm
Several of these puzzle me:
Maoxian is great for keeping up with books and life in China day to day, but very few investment articles; usually late observations on some big move without any real insight into a trading strategy;he used to be great but has lost it;
Trader X?

What about me? What about me?
The one point I would ask about is how you differentiate between trading and investing.

I linked to the dummy area in regards to Maoxian, needs to be read and re-read several times. Ya X site is dormant, it’s like reading a book more than once, his site is really a goldmine of info.

This list sucks without traderfeed.blogspot.com
By far the best trading blog on the net. All the other guys leave out key points about their systems.
