Let’s be honest, you could pretty much throw a dart any day of the week at theStockTwits Blog Network, and end up hitting a post that is better than 99% of the other stuff out there that passes as financial blogging. So to say these are “The Best of….” is a little disingenuous; let’s just say these are some of the posts from the last week that caught my attention and I think will interest you.
Investing is not always a “clean” endeavor, as you often have to interact with all sorts of unwanted entities. Knowing what motivates them may affect your financial success as Abnormal Returns highlights in “Incentives matter when it comes to investing.”

Kid Dynamite uses some “sick” analysis in “Why Can’t Journalists Who Write Article About Gambling Understand Math?” to illustrate how The Atlantic misreported their recent story on the whale who broke Atlantic City. Note to self: Never sit with KD in a 30-60 No Limit hold ‘em game.

Nouriel Roubini is know to thrown some pretty wild parties, but Eddy Elfenbein of Crossing Wall Street probably won’t get an invitation any time soon with posts like “Nouriel Roubini Three Years Ago.”
“Who am I to Question the Animal Spirits?” by The Stock Sage tries to take the crazy position that some fairly interesting and significant things happened this week in the markets that were not related to $AAPL. Yeah right!
Upside Trader brings us a “twofer” on the use of trendlines in “Why I Draw Trendlines” and “The Transports Bottomed.”
And finally, bookmark “Clips from Street Signs Today” as this is the exact point in time where the “I knew him when” story will begin for The Reformed Broker. There may be hope for CNBC yet.

(Note: If you are new to my blog, I post about all sorts of things. Sometimes it involves something extremely personal, like creating a 30K baby or my Monster Trades. Other times it deals with hot ex-porn stars who trade stocks. And sometimes it’s about how to avoid “suicide”. But a good place to start is The Best of bclund.
