Zero Hedge

Zero Hedge (http://www.zerohedge.com/) is an independant news website mainly concerned with the world of finance, stock markets and investments. It came to my attention only recently and I really like it. It deals with the ups and downs in the financial markets and the underlying issues therein. Lots of the articles are thorough and treat a particular piece of market data but also give the full context including who is involved and why it happened the way it did. There are guest writers too; including a few people who identify trends in current economic data and give reasoned predictions of what happens next through the hindsight gained from stock market history.

The website takes a different approach to the markets and government action on finance because it gives an unadulterated presentation and pulls no punches. It makes no apologies for the opinions and themes it pulls from the news and whom it criticises for poor decision making. Many people who write for the website are closely related to the financial industry so they know their ground and this makes re-assuring reading.

On days when there's a run on the banks or a big government data presentation or news from the Fed, BoA, BoE, there's many articles written, constantly updating the blog-style format of the website.

The fact that Zero Hedge is syndicated and affiliated with many other market commentator and money blogs is also encouraging as it shows a wealth of information being brought forward in one community. It's certainly the place to go if you want to read about what's really going on in business and ensure that your money is working as hard as it can and more importantly, is safe.
