I’ve decided that in life there are certain topics in which the act of reading about them is the most boring thing a person can possibly endure.  One of these topics is day trading.  In an attempt to learn a ton about day trading, without doing any reading, I have subscribed to a handful of popular day trading blogs.

‘But wait’ you say, ‘reading blogs qualifies as reading’.  It sure does, but who said anything about reading them?  I have subscribed to the feeds in my feed reader (the same feed reader that I use to subscribe to your blog/galleries/social networking updates), but I never click-through.  I pretty much just read the headlines and titles of the articles.

My hope is that I will learn a lot about the subject of day trading, just from subscribing to the feeds.  The specific vocabulary associated with day trading, the general day-to-day market trends, the frustrations and joys of a big gain/loss in a single day, I’m absorbing all of it through article headlines and tags in feeds that end up in my reader, daily, sometimes even hourly.  Will it work?  Probably.  What will I do then?  I’ll be the only master day trader that has never traded a day in his life.  I will then move on to other topics that interest me, but not enough to bare the brunt of some boring literature and reference manuals.

When my feed reader has as many feeds in it as Google has pages indexed (billions), you’ll be able to ask me anything, and I too will know the answer.  I’ll even be able to read minds, that reminds me, I have a new feed to subscribe to.
