The core of your writing whilst appearing agreeable originally, did not sit well with me personally after some time. Somewhere throughout the sentences you were able to make me a believer but only for a very short while. I still have a problem with your leaps in assumptions and one would do nicely to fill in all those gaps. In the event that you can accomplish that, I will surely be fascinated.

I don't know if the categories "How to save money" or "Building income" are really personal finance blogs, they just advance some schemes of saving or earning money and are really a bore:)

Thanks for your focus on helping people become an "active investor / trader." This is the next step now that I have increased my cash flow. Looking forward to more articles – subscribed to your RSS feed. Thanks.

Two sections I liked – your strategy and notes on starting one.

Before I started my own, it seemed like there were so many "common sense" sites out there. Or even worse, ones that simply documented the day-day living and earning of said blogger.

Still new, the goal of my own site has been developing. On a public scale, I want to promote education and have people question their conceptions of money. On a personal scale, I'm much more interested in pursuing investment topics & strategies (like you said, helping stable individuals get to the next level).

Few examples:
1.) Wondering if there was a cyclical pattern to buying utilities based on the seasons (premise being the more moderate fall/spring would be cheaper).
2.) "Buying the dividend" is generally frowned upon, but does it make sense in tax-advantaged accounts?
3.) Not sure if you read it, but did a post on the Berkshire B split….that's turned out to be a missed investment.

That would be great! Mainly just on layout or blog specific issues. Have you got any advice on getting your blog indexed? Not sure on permalinks or that kind of thing yet either.

Hey, really liking the blog, and great target market, especially with 20-29's being a lot more driven and financially aware nowadays. Will subscribe to the blog just to keep up to date with the huge array of stuff you are covering. I recently started up http://www.sharefundamentals.com and I am trying to push that towards indepth fundamental analysis, however at the moment I am just trying to work out a style of writing which works best.
