Not too long ago, I joined the Investor’s Blog Network when it had less than 10 blogs in the group. Membership to this finance network has now swollen to over three times what it used to be! I’m amazed. So guess what. The festival also has grown to accommodate many great posts from its financial blog members, and here’s where you can read up on what the investing blogosphere has been up to.
I’ve included short snippets from the submissions that were received, to give you an idea of what the articles are offering:

I recently read The Little Book of Common Sense Investing: The Only Way to Guarantee Your Fair Share of Stock Market Returns (Little Book Big Profits) and simply LOVED it.

Ask Uncle Bill offers Taking Away The PunchBowl–Why The Stock Market Could Go Down “Big Time”.
Just when things start going good somebody wants to spoil the party. Nothing out there right now to torpedo the market but a couple of events that could mess things up around 2010 or 2011. Who cares?–that is light years away, you say. True enough but the market is a discounter of future events. The market deals with events before they happen.

The basics of understanding charts, just how the heck do you read these things?! Well, after last week dipping into the basics behind making an actual online stock trade, market orders, and limit orders, I figure this week we could take our investor education to a new area, stock charts!

Project Stocks advises us that we can Beat the Market with Only 15 Minutes of Work Per Year.
If you know anything at all about investing, you’ve probably been told that you should not chase performance. I have always heard that the top mutual funds over a 10-year period will not perform well the following 10 years, so don’t buy funds just because they did well in the past.
