Hi everyone, EDIT: I just fixed the commenting problem not being enabled. Thanks Tom! I would like to ask for a little help with my blog posts if anyone (experienced and new players) has the time. I am very pleased (and somewhat apprehensive) to see that I have been quoted and linked to my blog in a couple newsletters and would like your opinion on how to improve my posts. (If it's not obvious yet, it will be soon in the rankings that I clearly have no idea what I am doing although I do try very seriously. /wink) I'm very new to this competition and some of the other posts linked are so good, with technical and fundamental evaluations, facts and real "investor speak" about what they are doing when I all I can do is try to explain what I "think" is happening and expound on my theories on certain companies or the market in very general terms. Is the somewhat humorous (attempt at least) approach working? When I see a quote or post linked back to me mentioned in the newsletter or the front page, I am shocked to say the least and I am worried that I will be discovered as a fraud or at a minimum, an idiot. /hehe (Yes, I really do actively manage my wife's and my IRA portfolios trying to "beat the street" but I don't know if thats really enough to qualify me as a "knowlegable source.") Any advice or insights to what you look for (and what could be considered useful to the community) is much appreciated. Curious and slightly concerned. /vbg Just trying to improve and learn here, | ||

Hi John, Welcome to the contest. There are some blogging pointers at the Coach's Corner link on the "Strategy Lab Contestants" page.
The range of experience and styles in this contest seems to run from new investors using it to help learn to folks who publish investment newsletters and manage money professionally. If you're managing a portfolio and holding your own in the market, that qualifies you as a 'knowledgeable source' imho. Besides, this is kind of a community intelligence thing, everyone adds something to the borg collective.
As far as what makes a good blog post in my opinion - stay focused on the point you're trying to make whether it's a stock or sector analysis, trading or management strategy, or whatever - stay on point. On stock blogs, one of the points Ken made in earlier hints that really struck home was to explain why the market isn't valuing it correctly. A little humor never hurts if you can mix it in.
