I have decided that I should blog about investment on a separate site.

The new site is The Strategy Blog. I intend to put a fair amount of work into it - have a lot of ideas that simply do not fit into any of my other sites and it seems a shame to waste them.

A flawed analysis of trends in the number of blogs, and the increase in the number of spam blogs, has lead people to think that the number of non-spam blogs is falling. In fact the growth trends remain strong. (more…)
