Weekend Reading For Mar 31 - Apr 1, 2007

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

The reason I do this is because I find it difficult to integrate links to other great blogs in my posts, so this is a way for me to give back.

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

This week I found that there were lots of great articles out there! Keep it coming guys! You folks are doing a great job and providing a great services for all of us out there!
