The powers that be in the blogosphere are constantly shifting. Figured it was time for a new thread.

What are you reading? I have an extremely large blogroll (thanks to fizz) that I go to when I run out of stuff on my short list.

Short list is:

Angry Bear
Calculated Risk
Credit Writedowns
Dealbreaker
FT Alphaville
Infectious Greed
James A. Kostohryz's Seeking Alpha RSS
Jesse's Café Américain
Jr. Deputy Accountant
Max Keiser
Mises Economics
Naked Capitalism
Paul Krugman's NYT Blog
The Big Picture
The Epicurean Dealmaker
The Market Ticker
VIX and More
WSJ Blogs

And then a bunch of stuff specific to my industry.

Going Concern aka "Jr. Deputy Accountant" is the only one I read on an every day basis. I check the mainstream news briefly each day just to stay on top of whatever is happening in the world.

I can't do mainstream financial news anymore. In the past, I was very conscious about not letting it cloud my objectivity. But I don't even want the temptation anymore. For someone with a short-term focus, watching CNBC, reading Marketwatch, etc., will destroy you.

It also has to be dumbed down in the interest of ratings. The heavyweights are in the blogosphere.

Exception would be WSJ (the actual paper) and sometimes Bloomberg (printed products; not the TV channel or the website).

I'm really not a blog kind of guy, and I've been getting way into more quantitative/computer stuff lately, but if you want to check out blogs on economics (and I'm not sure that econ is something that's really well-suited to blogs), the only two good ones I can think of are The Becker-Posner Blog and the one by Greg Mankiw, neither of which I really keep up with very often. There may be others, but I don't know what they are.

For reading random articles on economic history, however, websites like LewRockwell.com or EH.net can be extremely interesting.

Know Posner. Was always interested in him as a legal theorist.

Mankiw blog looks interesting. Rockwell added to RSS

Hadn't seen the Becker-Posner one. Looks similar to John Taylor's blog, Economics One.
Also not mentioned & always interesting:
Marginal Revolution
Modeled Behavior

My shite is a mess these days, a bunch of stuff comes through email now too. Same blogs as before, just added a bunch of O&G specific stuff too. I think the only new one I've added is Also sprach analyst.

Oil and Gas Journal daily emails, Oil and Gas Financial Journal monthly pdfs, Oil and Gas Journal weekly pdfs, Offshore Magazine Monthly pdfs, Deloitte Energy weekly emails, IHS Herold's daily emails (this is through our firm though), Oil Drum Blog, Oil and Gas Investor Blog, Million Dollar Way Blog (Bakken related), ShaleBlog.com, various IB research reports I can get my hands on. I need to take some time to search out some more play-specific blogs, but I haven't had time. Between this and everything else I read (and 13 hr work days), I can't keep up with the data flow anymore.

Cool. Out of curiosity, what is your role that is so closely related to both finance and the energy industry?

I work for a small investment bank that does mostly valuation (as opposed to deal making) work, and being that its in Houston, a lot of it is oil and gas related, although we do a fairly substantial amount of non o&g work as well. Just trying to learn as much as I can about the industry.
