If you have not heard of the Kirk report you would have to be in the minority. Charles E. Kirk is the Godfather of the finance blog world. His archives date back to September 2003 and has steadily built a large subscriber base. Below are some subscriber stats obtained via Feed Analysis v1.1.

 

Kirk's website contains no advertising instead he has gone for a membership model, however he still provides free quality content. One very handy feature of the site is that when you mouse over a ticker symbol you can quickly obtain historical data from Yahoo. You can have a look at Kirk's track record here. Kirk is also very accessible and provides feedback to members questions.  This is one finance site you need to have in your bookmarks. The Kirk Report gets a perfect score.

You will notice Wall Street Wit does not have a Blog Roll. This is because Blog Rolls are a big FAT waste of time and space. I would rather acknowledge worthy blogs and web sites with a review a rating and a link via a post. That way you the reader is not forced to blindly click on a link without knowing were you will end up. So without further a do here are my links and reviews for sites that rock out.

Tim is a colourful figure in the finance blogging world. He has been trader, hedge fund manager, reality TV star, publisher, author and now an educator. Tim's most notable achievement was his trading gains made from 1999-2002, where he turned $12,415 to $1.65 million trading Penny Stocks. He is serial self promoter and has a band of haters that follow him around the web.

So is Tim a self promoting tool bag?

The short answer is NO. Tim does things his way and that is uniquely refreshing. He is not afraid to unleash his thoughts and emotions and doesn't hide behind a public relations company that carefully manages his image. He is accessible and responds to his emails promptly. Really there is not a lot of information around about trading Penny Stocks and Tim's site fills the gap. Go read his blog you will probably learn a thing or two, at the very least you will be entertained. Timothy Sykes website gets a solid fours stars the new layout and features provide a refreshing format to the usual boring finance websites.
