With over 12 million blogs in the United States alone, it has become very clear to anyone attempting to navigate the blogosphere looking for useful information that good investment blogs are few and far inbetween. Two blogs that I came across just a few weeks ago and that are relatively new have become my favorites. I try to read them as often as possible because both these bloggers have in-depth knowledge of their industry (it shows in their writing) and do not go about repeating what everyone else is talking about.
The first one is Quant Investor written by George who is (as the about us section on his blog states) a full-time investor who recently retired from his day job as a quantitative programmer at an investment bank. His Worst Mutual Funds blog post makes for some interesting reading. I am not very surprised to see that his blog was mentioned multiple times in James Altucher’s blog watch column on TheStreet.com.
