Financial Blogs

24/7 Wall Street – 24/7 Wall St., LLC is a Delaware corporation set up to run a financial news and opinion operation with content delivered over the Internet.

 Seeking Alpha — This is a good place to start blogging, because it’s essentially a collection of different blogs. The site provides links to everything from analysis of media and Internet stocks to investing in China. The “Sound Money Tips” link offers simple financial strategies for every day life, from buying versus leasing a car, to selling a home without a realtor.  

 The Kirk Report – The site is written by an individual investor, Charles E. Kirk, who promises more food for thought than blind recommendations, and delivers on that promise. Viewers can sign up for a free, weekly e-mail newsletter. And unlike many financial blogs, the site is ad free!!

Random Roger’s Big Picture – This is a good site for investors looking for investing ideas beyond U.S. stocks. Author Roger Nusbaum is an investment advisor representative for Your Source Financial. His posts include insightful commentary on recent print articles and televised financial segments, and so give readers more than one view point on a topic. His writing style is very down to earth, it feels like you’re reading personal letters from your neighbor.

Footnoted.org – Author Michelle Leder is a veteran financial journalist who has published a book on spotting red flags in corporate documents (“Financial Fine Print: Uncovering a Company’s True Value.”) The site’s subject matter is in the same, investigative vein, setting the site apart from other blogs. Visitors can search for information by company name, and thus make a quick and easy stop here to find corporate dirt and other tidbits.

Stock and commodity trading – This anonymous site is technically oriented, covering day to day stock market activity, gold and currency markets. Interesting links like ‘coin stories’ (includes posts about coins during the era of Alexander the Great, a 17th century coin with a UFO like design) are fun to read.

The Simple Dollar - The Simple Dollar is a blog for those of us who need both cents and sense: people fighting debt and bad spending habits while building a financially secure future and still affording a latte or two. Our busy lives are crazy enough without having to compare five hundred mutual funds – we just want simple ways to manage our finances and save a little money.
