Not only do I read and follow journals like Spydertrader's, I write everything down, take notes, ask questions. Lots of ways to trade the market. When you're trying to learn trading techniques, these journals are invaluable. Paper trading several of these strategies right now. When you're new to trading, trying to find a "comfort level" with different strategies with a given funding level. But then the mud slinging comes in, and a thread will turn to crap pretty quick.
