useful reading


Some time ago I had convinced myself that if identified a few good financial bloggers, the power of that combined with my 5-year subscription to Money and Kiplinger's magazines, would provide me with enough arsenal to be a better investor.
About 6 months down the line, I am not sure how effective those have been, but I would like to believe that it certainly hasn't done any harm. I haven't gone off to buy the top 10 funds that come out monthly in either of the magazines, nor have I found tips on hot markets or stocks/funds from any of the blogs that has made me rich over night.

In any case, here are a few good links that I read more than a couple of times a week:
http://mymoneyblog.com - very popular
http://bankdeals.blogspot.com - haven't really been able to use any of the information that i have come across on here, but do give it a look before I do anything else with my money.
http://www.thebuylist.com - I need to figure out if there is an effective way to use this information.

Also, had stumbled upon this article from Morningstar which has links to a couple of useful tools for personal portfolio checkups.

I have also been listening to a couple of podcasts which though not particularly focused on stocks in general, do offer some sensible tips ever so often:

I guess till I figure out if these are not really helping or significantly hurting my investing decisions, I would gladly keep these around as long as my daily routine permits it.
