Nice mention in Barron's of quite a few blogs today, including The Big Picture and a few friends and colleagues:

Additional recommendations:

The Kirk Report (www.kirkreport.com);
venture-capitalist Paul Kedrosky's Infectious Greed (http://paul.kedrosky.com)
Wall Street gossip sheet DealBreaker (www.dealbreaker.com).

Many Wall Street analysts and money managers find blogging a good marketing tool. Birinyi Associates' Ticker Sense blog (http://tickersense.typepad.com) has gained popularity, due to The Ticker Sense Blogger Sentiment Poll, where bloggers can share their 30-day market outlooks once a week. This gathering makes Ticker Sense a good place to find other blogs.

For a free blog smorgasbord without all the surfing, try Seeking Alpha (www.seekingalpha.com). It delivers daily analysis and opinion from among 400 contributors, many professional money managers or analysts. Choose the investing themes, sectors and tickers you want to read about, and you'll get an e-mail of related articles and links. Global Trends Investments President Barry Lydon is a typical contributor. Both his ETFTrends (www.ETFTrends.com) blog and his asset-management firm focus on exchange-traded funds.
