(Holiday) Weekend Reading For Dec 23rd - 25th, 2006

In "Weekend Reading" I'll collect what I thought were the best posts and articles for the week from various bloggers.

I only focus on posts and links that relate to trader improvement or trading in general.

I must admit that this week I've been very busy and I must apologize for overlooking any great trading articles I might have missed this week.

Nevertheless, this "holiday" edition has some great reads, so go ahead, grab a cup of hot chocolate, find a comfy spot near the fireplace and enjoy!

• Jan over at the StockMarketBlog reviews The Best Trading Advice

• Tyro has an excellent post in which he lays out his trading plan in Trading Resolutions

• OneBadTrade mulls upon his trading and tries to look for answers in Reflections

• Dummyspots asks 20 questions, then reviews the three phases of gambling addiction in Are You A Compulsive Trader?

• Phileo posted a great article that outlines what he looks for in a trade in Elements of a Good Swing

• Finally, we may have lost a trading blogger who may be throwing in the towel when it comes to trading. When he first came up on my radar, I'd always look to him as a source of inspiration and I was greatly impressed with his consistency. Everyday I'd visit his site and with the numbers he posted, he always reminded me that this was possible. However, he took a pretty big hit recently and in this post, he says his Goodbye. Whatever you decide to do ZBS Trader, I want to wish you the best of luck, but most importantly, thank you for everything you've done - you are my inspiration!
