Other People's Money Blogs

This post is long overdue, but it's better late than never to spotlight some of the blogs I read, in no particular order:

The Big Kahunas of the financial blog world (imo): The Big Picture and the Kirk Report, both of which linked to me a few weeks back.  A belated thanks, guys.  Both are very popular for many reasons. Ticker Sense is the blog of Lazlo Birinyi's firm - their graphs are typically worth a thousand words.

Brett Steenbarger's TraderFeed - Trading psychology guru and lots of market analysis deep into the mechanics of the market.  His weblog is chock full of interesting links.

C(omp)++ - Quant oriented computation - need I say more?

CXO Advisory - excellent summaries of applicable financial research.  Nearly every article is a must-read, imo.

Midas Oracle - Chris Masse's blog is a humorously provocative firehose of information on the prediction markets.  It's a community blog where Chris graciously invited me to be a guest author, and I've written a post on traders and the prediction markets and moi.  Someday in the not too distant future, I hope CASTrader will hook into prediction markets.  Until then, I'll just write about them there from time to time like I know what I'm talking about.

FINTAG - Adventures, commentary and opinions of a UK-based (soon to be ex?) hedge fund manager.  All About Alpha is a Canadian who appears to be tapped into the bleeding edge of the hedge fund world.

Ken's Nonsense - a misleading new blog title, because posts are anything but.  By a former math professor turned computer engineer/trader.

Lloyd's Investment Blog - Low volume, but interesting research.

Michael Covel - Author and trend follower - good links from time to time, plus he interviewed with Lindsay - what more could a blogger aspire to?

MoneyScience - Another relative firehose of information, with plenty of quantitative finance and science mixed in - a must read.

The Quants: QuantInvestor, World Beta and Quantitative Trading.  Must reads all.

C++ Trader - a new blog by Mathew Henry who works at a "boutique investment bank" and whose blog title says it all.  Mathew, along with Rod at Perfectly Reasonable Deviations (another blog I read religiously and link to often) nominated this blog for the Thinking Blogger Award, for which I am very honored.

The Park Paradigm

Herb Greenberg - There's $$$ hidden between the lines of some of his posts, as I can certainly attest.

Wall Street and Technology - Always nice to know how the big boys and girls do it.

Yaser Anwar - new to me, but good stuff from a range of perspectives.

Portfolio Analysis.  Very new, but looks like it will be a good one based on the articles so far. 

plus a couple of quant boards for good measure:

Nuclear Phynance

Elite Trader

Yaser,

E.P. Chan is definately in the list under his blog name "quantitative Trading." I did forget some, though, which I'll correct in a future post.

Hello CASTrader, I just wanted to tell you about the Global Liquidity Blog (www.liquidityblog.blogspot.com). Best regards,

Agustin.

Great list - a couple were familiar to me but many others not; just spent the afternoon investigating. Especially like AllAboutAlpha and Perfectly Reasonable Deviations. And of course thanks for putting my site in such esteemed company!
