I just finished going through my BlogLines feeds and thought I'd pass these articles along:

"Illiquid" makes a confession on his blog. You've gotta appreciate his honesty. And he cites a great reason for keeping some kind of journal -- blog or otherwise:
Whatever tone some of these posts may take, please be aware that more often than not, I am preaching to myself from an alter-ego standpoint, in a voice which I am striving to make my own but is right now still quite some distance removed. This blog is basically my attempt to help stamp certain ideas down in my brain by externalizing them into a reference of sorts, so please don't get the idea that I'm preaching at you from a hilltop.
And here are some more articles from 'Sound Money Tips'. I've just pulled out some of the markets related ones, but there's a lot more worth reading over there:
