Does anyone on here read Markets Live from FT Alphaville?

http://ftalphaville.ft.com/marketslive/

I read it occasionally to see their thoughts behind market activity and they also include a lot of notes from investment banks and various brokers.

However it seems clear that they are journalists, not traders, and that they are really speaking to an audience of position and swing traders, or portfolio managers.

They are very involved with economic news and balance sheet breakdowns etc, which seems to be either high-level noise or something to avoid (trading news) to a lot of T2Wers?

The last few I have read they have no idea why markets are so shaky at the moment and they keep using their favourite phrases 'tin hats on' and 'XYZ down xx%, one for the muppets!' . lol

I still like to have a read tho, plenty of info in there like I say. :sleep:
