I do both: write books and blog. However, let’s face it blogging is candy and books are steak. No one can make a reasoned investment case in one blog post alone, but you can’t believe how many ask me to do so (lazy they are as Yoda would say). Oh sure I can talk bullet points of trend following, but only books allow depth. Want to judge my extended views and research? Then read my two trend following books:
Tell me a blogger who has put more wisdom in print about how great traders really make money? Cocky statement? Not at all. It’s just hard work and time commitment. Don’t get me wrong. I enjoy blogging (and reading other good blogs; there are many). The process of making small bites ‘work’ is enjoyable, but at the end of the day people pay me to be very detailed — and books (at least for the time being) are still the best format for long form views covering sound investment strategy.
