Whoever is over at Ticker Sense has decided to start a survey of bloggers. They hope to “become a convenient barometer for the consensus outlook of the blogosphere?s new wave of independent market analysts.”
Here’s their output from today:
Most interesting to me though, is the list of bloggers that they’re using in the survey:
24/7 Wall Street – Abnormal Returns – Ant & Sons – Asset Allocator – Big Picture – Bill Cara – Bloggin’ Wall Street – Carl Futia – Clearfish Research – Confused Capitalist – ContraHour – Controlled Greed – Crossing Wall Street – CXO Advisory – Dean Lebaron – Fly on the Wall – Daily Dose of Optimism – Daily Options Report – Deal Breaker – Dr. John Rutledge – Elliot Wave Lives On – Fallond Stock Picks – Fickle Trader – Hedgefolios – Kirk Report – Knight Trader – Learning Curve – MaoXian – Naked Shorts – Peridot Capitalist – Random Roger’s Big Picture – SeekingAlpha – SelfInvestors – Shark Report – Stock Advisors – StockCoach’s Corner – Tech Trader Daily – Trader Feed – Trader Mike – Wall Street Folly
That looks like a lot of potentially good content… now I just need to the find time and energy to read a few of them…
Oh, and the list of polled blogs should be expanding over time…

Nice list…I wonder if anyone is going to take the time to rank these bloggers in terms of general accuracy and/or define each of them as being typically bearish/bullish, typically focused on fundamentals, etc. I do wonder how anyone has time to process all the information that’s floating out there….

If you visit the Ticker Sense site, you’ll see that the actual list of regular contributers to the poll is much larger. This is just the list that contributed to this one week’s poll. I’ve gone ahead and added every one I could to my Bloglines subscriptions and I’ll start monitoring them for quality. I’m sure that I’ll delete quite a few out of shear lack of interest since some are pure stock pick blogs. Nothing againts stocks, I just don’t trade ’em right now. I’m more interested in people with an eye on the big picture and sentiment.
On an unrelated side note, in adding this huge list of blogs to my feed reader, I noticed that of the two standards for blog feeds, Atom and RSS, Atom is the huge favorite. I wonder if that is really a reflection of preference or if it’s just because it appears first in alphabetical order on the list of feeds. Never underestimate the power of being listed first. This doesn’t really have any significance but it is interesting to see leading standards emerge before your eyes.
