The Prince’s Favorite Sites for 2008

Here are The Prince’s favorite blogs and sites that he reads nearly everyday.

Economic News

RGE Monitor - This is simply the best site for aggregating what economists are saying about the domestic and international economies.  The pieces are of extremely high quality and it is a great place to look for emerging trends for you to exploit through investments.

The Big Picture - Another fabulous site focusing on economic and financial commentary.  The analysis is usually rich with new insights and very sophisticated.

Calculated Risk - Covers economics and the financial market.  Always offers useful commentary backed up with graphs and statistics.  Does some pretty interesting calculations trying to estimate writedowns and the values of various assets.

 

General Market and M&A News

New York Times Dealbook

FT Alphaville

WSJ Marketbeat

Bloomberg

 

Commentary and Investing

Abnormal Returns - The links they regularly provide help the reader hone in on the best commentary of the day. 

Howard Lindzon - My favorite investing blog.  His commentary is always interesting and the interaction with his readers on his trades is excellent.  He is also one of the creators of WallStrip.

Intelligent Speculator - Recently launched site that focuses on value investing with a slightly speculative edge.  Presents some interesting trade ideas for stocks that look undervalued based on varying metrics.

La Contra - Fascinating blog presenting contrarian investment ideas.

Fat Pitch Financials - Site that offers the tools to make you a better value investor.

The Street - Daily does of financial commentary from experts of various quality.

Seeking Alpha - The best aggregator of commentary and investing ideas on the web.

 

Private Equity and Dealmaking

Going Private - I just love the way Equity Private writes.  The writer’s quick wit and years of experience make this blog a fascinating read.  The writing is superb and the original insights are fascinating.  The Prince’s goal is to write like Equity Private.  I have a long ways to go and a lot of experience to gain before I can reach that goal.

Blogging Buyouts - Good for blurbs on various Private Equity news.  Site doesn’t have much new material right now as LBO game is on hold because of lack of financing.  However, I’m sure they will start covering the difficulty that PE firms are having with the firms they bought at ridiculous multiples at the peak.

Epicurean Dealmaker - More wonderful writing that you can’t find anywhere else.  Incredibly interesting with a great sense of humor.
