Daily Reading suggestions/ideas/criticism
 

Use this thread to post whatever you want about the new daily reading sticky. If you want to actually discuss one of the articles I'd suggest making another thread specifically for that article. This thread should be used for feedback.

Oops. It's fixed now.

I had running the feeds but it got messed up sometime today and I haven't figured out how to fix it yet. I tried to do a quick fix with feedblendr but that seems to mess up the links. I reverted back to my original shared items feed for now. That leaves out anything I share from my phone (i.e. anything I share while on the toilet). I'll work on getting the Yahoo Pipe working again tonight.

Anyway, it's working for now. I will make sure to test out any changes I make next time.

Geez, why do you need to read so much? I am a financial advisor and I read almost nothing day-to-day. I read nothing about the markets or the economy. If you have globally diversified and balanced passive portfolios (like all of my clients), you can relax and enjoy the long-term growth without watching it day to day.

yea, but the validity of that "if" (accompanied by the "and do not fall into either catagory below:) for each person is the why behind the "read so much."

1) if you are actively trading and trying to beat the markets, then what occurs in the present and what has occured in the past and why is extremely important.

2) if you enjoy thinking about and reading about the markets, then you also care and thus read alot about what is going on.

so here's to the IF!

I don't need to read so much, I just like to. Everything I read is something that is interesting to me, so it's free knowledge about stuff I like.

Not that this is the point of the thread, but I'd certainly never give my money to an adviser that doesn't read daily news. Are you basically just taking people's cash and saying "stick it in an index fund...and give me 1% off the top?"

There are other sites that I read occasionally or I'll read via links from the ones above, and those will occasionally make it into the feed in this forum via del.icio.us. That's 21 feeds above, and there's probably about 25 non business or tech feeds. It's probably higher than average, but there are definitely people that read WAY more than me.
