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.
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:
I think you got a great blog!! Thank you for that. I'm definitely going to add u to my favorite :)
I hope you can visit mine at www.moneee.com Money Talk and News.

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!
