Top Finance Blogs (IBD / PE)

Hello monkeys,

Let's compile a list of the best / most amusing finance blogs, specifically those relevant to IBD / PE (less public markets-oriented).

Here's what I got so far: - Epicurean Dealmaker (RIP) - dealbreaker - theibanker

What am I missing? What do you like to read?

Seeking Alpha does a good job on give me a quite a few articles on energy companies every day. Except one day I'll read an article that company XYZ's earnings might decline 10% next year. The next day a different contributor will write an article saying the exact opposite.

 
LiquidDreamsLooking for some new finance blogs/sites to frequent. For a while now, it seems like I spend most of my time over at ZeroHedge. If you don't mind a little apocalyptical bent, ZH is the best I've found. I look at all the mainstream sites, but there's rarely anything interesting on there. Any suggestions?

how can we make WSO better so that you'd want to hang around more?

I've actually been spending a ton of time here, as of late. This site is extremely useful with info about interviews, internships, FT jobs, networking, exit opps etc. etc.

The only thing I feel like this site is missing is substantive posts/articles about finance/econ/investing news or ideas. This is the best site for getting info on what it takes to break into banking/finance, but not so much for acquiring financial news. There are some posts focusing on this. The only problem I have is not knowing if the author of these posts are worth listening to. How do I know if the author is a legitimate authority on investing etc. or just a college kid spouting off? With a site like ZeroHedge, I am confident that the authors of articles know their stuff and I can trust the content.

Maybe there is a way to create a section with featured/official bloggers or something.
