Updates to Wall Street Currents site...

As most readers of this blog know, Wall Street Currents site is my primary source of information to get a pulse on markets and for new ideas, view points & techniques to investigate. Over last week there were multiple changes to WSC site.

The changes were primarily in the following 3 areas of the site:
  • Front Page - Front page now includes articles from "Futures Magazine" and "Resource Investor" magazine. The latter is focused more on commodity side. You can find these under the left most column of front page. Few exclusions from the "Institutional Research" section.
  • Market Timing Page - Notable are the changes in the right  column. Real estate on any web page is a precious commodity. So though I want, I cannot allocate dedicated space for all blogs. If you feel strongly any particular blog requires its own space in right column over what we have now, then please let me know. Otherwise, I think the page now provides a good balance in providing new techniques/ideas, analysis and view points.
  • Quant Currents Page - This page has several exclusions and few inclusions. I notice typically 4 types of quant blogs - (a) blogs that provide interesting ideas, (b) blogs that follow quant herd i.e., running with whatever idea that is popular currently and add couple extra view points,  (c) blogs that are too theoretical  and (d) blogs that focus on quantity instead of quality. So most of the exclusions and inclusions are towards making the page concentrate on (a) and (b) category blogs. I am not yet done fully with pruning on this page. Now no process is perfect. So please feel free to suggest any changes.

Mobile Tip: 
If you are watching WSC site from a mobile (iPhone/iPad etc), double tapping with your finger on any box in WSC pages will cause the display to zoom in and fill the entire screen with that box for easier reading. If you double tap again, the display zooms out to show the entire page on the screen again.
