Top Financial Blogs

Though many investors still rely on the mainstream financial media—and their own advisers—for information and advice, there are plenty of blogs that offer very good analysis and discussions.
If you're dipping your toes into the financial blogosphere for the first time, start with portal SeekingAlpha, which calls itself a "one-stop shop" for stock research.
Another good destination for stocks is AOL's BloggingStocks, which is updated several times a day with analysis of companies from various writers.
Other media companies now offer must-read blogs by seasoned journalists covering the financial markets, deals, and the economy, such as Herb Greenberg's MarketBlog and The New York Times' DealBook. They also provide a forum for discussions and often point to independent blogs that offer strong opinions and analyze news events.

Investor Blogs
Stock investors have plenty of independent blogs to choose from.

Jon Ogg and Douglas McIntyre at 24/7 Wall St. deliver both financial news and straight-talking stock analysis. Paul Hickey and Justin Walters at Bespoke Investment Group's Think B.I.G. stay on top of market movements and illustrate their analysis with easy-to-read tables and charts (it also has a subscription premium research service).

For day traders, TraderFeed by author Brett Steenbarger follows historical patterns in markets, adding dashes of psychology and self-help. McIntyre at 24/7 Wall St. called Carl Futia's blog "one of the best technical investing and financial forecasting blogs."

Investors that like to delve into financial statements should enjoy 10Q Detective by David Phillips, a former equity analyst who sprinkles in "trader alerts" along with analysis of companies' SEC filings. Other blogs in this realm that have been going strong for years: Michelle Leder's Footnoted.org and highly regarded accountant Jack Ciesielski's The AAO Weblog (now only his newsletter subscribers can view all of his posts). Both of these blogs landed on our top 10 financial blogs list back in July, 2005 (two other blogs on this list are no longer active: Asset Allocator and Wealthy Blogger).
