It reminds me of a conversation I had once with a buddy about taking classes in school to learn about things. While classes offer structure and some motivation (grades), one shouldn't wait until someone hands you the topic on a dish to go out and learn about it. Anyway, I also found this post interesting. Not so much for the sensationalist title, but the topics that it touches on - successful results of entrepreneurship and fundamental stock monitoring (why would founders be selling?).

Wrapped in every jab, in every snide remark, there is always good feedback to be gleaned. Although, I doubt that any idea that has been put forth in the comments so far is anything you haven't thought about yourself already. I think the best person to know what should go on your blog is you. That is why we all originally tuned in in the first place, wasn't it? To get a piece of you with our finance news? I know that is why I read blogs instead of straight up news sites. I like the personal aspect. I think the most important advice is (now that you are getting a larger audience) is to welcome the new readers, but never forget those who have been reading before the pop. PS. Also, I demand you at least get a guest blogger to come and help you flesh out an article on buying a home and the process therein. It is something most of you target audience is going through or will before they turn 30. Ramit,

For one, it shows where the money is to be made. By researching and buying new companies stocks, let the compound and split and anyone ccan become a millionarie. Isn't a blog? a a diary? Ramit has given ideas not we need to implented them. I think this article is very interesting. For one, it shows where the money is to be made.

I appreciate it. Fusebox, that's a good idea, too. It's not a lack of ideas but I've been swamped with some things I'm working on. More posts to come. PS--As a quick sidenote, I get so much feedback that it's unreal. Some people want longer articles, some people want shorter articles (I make fun of them for being illiterate), and others just want esoteric information. There's no pleasing everyone, so while I'm informed by the feedback I get, I'm just going to continue writing about things I think are cool. This Bill Gates article, for example, was pretty interesting to me. Now that’s good feedback, Mike. I appreciate it. Fusebox, that’s a good idea, too.

Maybe dig more into specific topics. Ramit, Seeing your blog has been running for a few years now, perhaps its time to do a revision series… or best of, and even update this.

How about the one where you talk about why you don't crank out posts? Ah, nostalgia. That was like almost an entire year ago!Those were such simpler times.
