Financial blogs are expanding in significance.  The number is increasing and so is the readership.  This is a trend that is early in its development, so there is fluidity in the definition of the group and the role of blogs versus mainstream media.

At “A Dash” we are writing a book, one page at a time.  The audience for the book will be the individual investor, most of whom have not yet returned to the stock market.  As they do, they will naturally consider various financial websites, including the most popular blogs.

How will these new readers navigate this crowded and growing space?  We hope to develop a readers’ guide to various sites, describing what to expect from each.
