    They're in my sig line. But there are others as well and many of them have numerous links on their site as well:

    Xiphos trading - great charts

    TF blog

    Jesse's Cafe

    Toby Connor Goldscents

    I try not to burn too much time a day on these. I probably get the most out of goldseek and safehaven consistently.

    The analysts I believe who tend to call the PM's most accurately are Hoye, Bannister, Maund, Bevan, Connor, Jesse, and Downey.

    "This forum. Take care. jws"

    Yuuuup, no spin, no bs, plenty of charts and links. It can be a little soapboxy on occasion. A good sampling of current sentiment with a little bit of prognostication, opinion, observations, and a few hummmmmmmm's every now and then. Who would you rather trust for your info...this forum or some guy peddling a digital rag?

    I never cared for "The Cat in the Hat," or "Green Eggs and Ham."

    "Curious George" was more my speed.

    There is a meme going around "15 Reasons the news is bad for you." The mood gets so dark on this forum at times, that the best thing for many would be a break, instead of more to read. The best thing in the long run, might be to turn off the computer for a few weeks, ditch the radio, the newspapers, and go off to the woods, or the lake, the mountain top, or the beach, and enjoy life for a while. It would do wonders for some folks.

    I think really getting involved with the day to day things, and ALL the things that are written, be they on paper or on-line doesn't do you a lot of good. Most of us here have our perspectives and align our assets accordingly. An article, or a series of articles isn't going to do much to change my outlook. Now certainly I don't mean not to stay somewhat involved, but sometimes less is more.

    On Ace of Spades, Monty posts his daily DOOM! report, which is kinda like an economic Drudge Report with links on numerous topics along with informative and entertaining commentary. Many of the topics discussed here are covered, including PMs. Plus everyday is Caturday.

    I find charts of equities, bonds, PMs, and currencies usually give the most accurate read on coming events.

    Then I try to read society, both here and abroad.

    There are over 100 sites on my "favorites" list where I gather information on the above, of which I dont think a single one is a newsletter or blog.

    Read ? Whew, it's near constant.
  • Business Week online, Bogleheads.com, Sunday Times. The New Yorker and the Atlantic run some great articles from time to time that are generally iconoclastic. I first read about the dangers of derivatives in the Atlantic 20 or 25 years ago.

    The problem with the internet is that there is so much content available, you can always find something that agrees with your views. And pure affirmation of what you believe is a sure route to little thinking.

    The gold nuts, the doomsayers, the SHTF people...you can't emerge from that deep dark hole with your mind intact and your head on straight.

    Bloomberg and The Economist for ecomonics, The New Yorker, Atlantic, Harpers, Wired...diversity what you read.

    He who knows he has enough is rich.

    This was my first thought. I think there is too much preaching to the choir here and a diverse selection of reading/educational material is, IMHO, the best way to try and keep abreast of all the craziness.
