Free Resources
There are a lot of free resources available for traders and investors. Perhaps too many. We definitely live in a noisy, information-dominant world. As a result, the mediocre and average tends to drown out the high quality and excellent.
Rather than adding to the noise, I've decided to keep this page deliberately short. I'm listing only those free resources which are truly free and which I believe to be truly superior. I also intend to be very selective about what I add to this list in the future.
Not all the resources listed below are directly related to options and option trading strategies, and some you may already be aware of. Still, I think most people serious about trading and investing will find that they offer very real value.

Warren Buffett's Annual Berkshire Hathaway Shareholder Letters
There have been countless books and articles written about Warren Buffett, everyone's favorite (and most successful) value investor, but there's been very little written by him. These archived shareholder letters comprise the bulk of Buffett's own public writings. Going all the way back to 1977, they contain Buffett's distilled investing wisdom. Written with great clarity, insight, and humor, they're a value investing course all in themselves and are every bit as important as Benjamin Graham's value investing classic, The Intelligent Investor.
PBS Nightly Business Report Streaming Videos
I tend to start feeling ill after prolonged exposure to CNBC and other cable business news channels. The endless stream of three minute inteviews (Sorry to interrupt but we have another three minute interview to go to now) creates a noisy and superficial experience. I'm a long time fan of PBS's more indepth and substantive Nightly Business Report. They've been offering streaming videos of the most recent broadcast for some time, but they recently upgraded the site. You can now view
an archive of the 10 most recent broadcasts. Each new night's broadcast is available by 8:30 p.m. (Eastern).
Charlie Rose Streaming Videos
Charlie Rose is a national treasure. His nightly hour of substantive interviews of figures from the worlds of politics, business, the arts, culture, and academia is unrivaled by anything else on television or in print. Those inteviews are now all available in streaming video format. Although Charlie Rose covers a wide variety of subjects, interviews from the world of business, economy, and investing are well represented.
John Mauldin's Thoughts from the Frontline Weekly e-Letter
One of the truly great free resources for investors, John Mauldin's weekly e-letter is a substantive weekly commentary on the state of the economy and long term investment issues. John Mauldin is a best selling author, widely acclaimed financial speaker, and has appeared on numerous financial television and radio programs. His weekly e-letter is not about stock picking or investment recommendations but rather indepth discussions about underlying economic issues. There are currently more than one million subscribers. If you're not one already, you should really consider becoming one.
Investment Strategy by Jeffrey Saut (Raymond James)
Jeffrey Saut is probably my favorite market commentator. His commentary is highly relevant, accurate, and entertaining. Whenever he's on Nightly Business Report, I stop what I'm doing and give him my undivided attention. The web source here is an indepth weekly commentary posted on the first trading of each week. Be sure to check out the daily audio commentary as well (available by mid-day, four days a week).
