Here are some more financial blogs that seem good:

• The Aleph Blog - Investment strategies and advice (seems pretty US-centric)
• The Epicurean Deal Maker - Sarchastic, sardonic and humerous insight into Wall Street
• Going Private - The Sardonic Memoirs of a Private Equity Professional - This is an absolutely hilarious blog about the world of Private Equity. Excellent!
• A Fist-full of Euros - An interesting blog focusing on European finance/economics/politics.

Here are some financial blogs I like:

• Robert Peston at the BBC
• AlphaVille from the FT
• Calculated Risk
• Econbrowser

I'm getting more and more information from blogs and forums these days, so I want to try and get as many diverse and informative sources as I can.
