Top "Finance" Blogs

Time's list of Best Finance blogs was making the email rounds this week, as I received the link from several sources.

My first reaction to an "ezik" friend was my shock!:) at not being in the list, to which he slyly responded, "you are no. 26; better luck next year":)...

I might seek consolation in the fact that this is an Economics blog, not Finance, but so are most of the top 25... Joking aside, I think it is a great list. As you can see, almost all the blogs from my own list from more than a couple of years earlier made it to the Time's list. But Even though it is more or less the competition, I would have still put FT Alphaville in if I were making their list. There are also a couple of blogs that I really like, like Rebecca Wilder and Models and Agents. They do not write a lot of stuff, so would have never made it to the list, but whatever they write is of very high caliber.

BTW, speaking of my own list, there have been a couple of changes to that since 2008. Brad Setser no longer blogs, as he is in the policymaking circles... And Roubini's blogs have become much much better... In fact, as you know, I have been contributing to his Economonitor blog site for a while now. In fact, Dr. Doom is coming up with a brand-new blog site, which will feature not only his writings and posts from analysts at his company, but "a few proud":) bloggers who have accepted to migrate their blog to his site. And I can tell you that this has something to do with my recent spoiler:) But I will be making the official announcement soon...
