How Timely Is Your News?

CurrencyTrading.net, whose last blog list included VIX and More as one of their Top 100 Day Trading Blogs, is out with a new list of note: 50 Places to Discover News Before It Goes Mainstream, authored by Heather Johnson. It is a list well worth checking out, regardless of whether or not you follow the currency markets.

On the same subject, when you think of the information lifecycle in terms of the graphic below from Monitor110, consider how important it is for your news sources to include blogs that give you new ideas to think about, long before they find their way into the mainstream media. That is part of the reason why I have a “Blogs I Frequent” list on the right hand column of the blog. If you haven’t checked that list lately, now might be a good time to revisit it, as in the past month or two I have added several excellent blogs featuring cutting bleeding edge thinking.
