In case you haven’t noticed, things look pretty different around here! There’s been a couple of things I’ve wanted to do with the site for a while now, and I finally set aside some time to make them happen.
There were basically two things that I wanted to accomplish. The first thing was to improve the look of the site. I’m happy with that aspect of the change, although that is mostly subjective.
But the other thing I wanted to accomplish is some form of article sorting. As my regular readers know, I crank out upwards of five articles per day for Benzinga. While I do my very best to provide informative, entertaining and educational content, some articles are not as relevant to a general audience as others.
For example, a recent article I wrote entitled “Has Warren Buffett Lost His Touch?” probably has more wide appeal than my recent article “Citigroup Raises Price Target For Buy-Rated GrubHub.” Now, for shareholders of GrubHub, they probably hung on every word about the Citi price target hike. Everybody else? Not so much.
I don’t want GrubHub shareholders to miss out on my GrubHub articles, but it also bothered me that the Warren Buffett article and others like it would get buried on Trading Common Sense under the five-plus daily articles with more narrow appeal, like the GrubHub article.
My solution? I’ve created a “Best of Trading Common Sense” page for articles that I’m particularly proud of or feel are particularly informative or entertaining. That way, the GrubHub shareholders still get their updates, but the rest of us don’t have to dig through GrubHub articles to get to Warren Buffett.
The “Best of Trading Common Sense” page can be accessed by clicking on the link in the menu just under the title at the top of any Trading Common Sense page. Go ahead. Look. It’s even at the top of this very page!
Like what I’ve done with the site? Awesome! Feel free to email me at wpd@tradingcommonsense.com and tell me about it! Don’t like what I’ve done with the site? That’s ok too! But do not email me.
In all seriousness, I’d like to take a minute to thank all of my readers. It’s crazy how much the site’s readership has grown over the past year, and I will continue to do my best to provide content worth reading.
I’m going to leave this post as the top post for a week or so since it explains the changes to the site. In the meantime, get my latest articles on Benzinga. There will be a big content update here on Trading Common Sense at some point (likely next weekend), and there will also be some more exclusive content about a stock I intend to buy in the near future!
Want to learn more about the stock market? Or maybe you just want to be able to look sophisticated in front of your coworkers when they ask you what you are reading on your Kindle, and you’d prefer to tell them “Oh, I’m just reading a book about stock market analysis,” rather than the usual “Oh, I’m just looking at pics of my ex-girlfriend on Facebook.” For these reasons and more, check out my book, Beating Wall Street with Common Sense. I don’t have a degree in finance; I have a degree in neuroscience. You don’t have to predict what stocks will do if you can predict what traders will do and be one step ahead of them. I made a 400% return in the stock market over five years using only basic principles of psychology and common sense. Beating Wall Street with Common Sense is now available on Amazon, and tradingcommonsense.com is always available on your local internet!
