So Much Information, So Little Time

Sometimes I feel like I'm going crazy. There is so much information that I subject myself to that I have to close my eyes, lean back and take a deep breath.

Of course I guess I like to punish myself because I like to keep up-to-date with chatter that's out there.

There is always contradictory information out there and I just had to chuckle when Rob Booker flirts with the idea of buying USD/CAD, while today Dailyfx.com picks a short on USD/CAD. Everyone always wants to be an expert and have their opinion. What's yours? The likelihood that you'll come up with correct insight might be just as high.

I've been asked about correlations in the past and how currency prices can be tied to variables in other markets. Ray Barros shares his thoughts.

Then I noticed that Raghee Horner posted on her blog, then recycled the exact post to her FXstreet blog too. Not to rat someone out, but all the exclusive bloggers at FXstreet are asked to provide unique content (aka unpublished) to their FXstreet blogs. Not that I really care, though.

Below is an example of what I look at in my Google (RSS) Reader. The craziness that I talk of above is felt most when I'm scanning through the hundreds of news drops in my Google Reader a day. Somehow, I love it, though.
