I’ve gone off on a rant about poor market analysis before (see this post, and this follow-up), so I won’t do so again where this Zero Hedge entry is concerned. I’ll let a long-time finance professor friend of mine do it instead. 
His premise on the use of correlation is a stretch — made even worse by his mis-understanding of what arbitrage means — poor traders who decide to follow him… If he is correct, it is by happen-chance, not analysis
On to some more positive things.
Independent Trading: Pros & Cons is a great post on the Kirk Report blog looking at both sides of the trading game.
Mark Wolfinger has a solid discussion of money management on his blog. It has an options spin to it, but the concepts are universally applicable. Mark also wrote on the topic of trading mistakes, which is a post worth reading. (Note: Mark is also a contributor to my Trading FAQ book)
