Announcements and Reader Questions

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

It’s been nearly six months since Steadfast Finances was launched, and I’m pleased to say we surpassed the 100 reader mark a few weeks ago.

When I began this little adventure, it was more of an experiment to post financial advice or financial news that I felt was beneficial to my friends, family, and anyone else looking for a quick answer from a Google search. So when someone I knew asked a question, I would fish out a web address from my files and drop them an email with a link saying “read this”.

Now it’s become more of a quest to help as many people as possible by giving out as many personal finance and investing tips as they come up.

With that in mind, I would like to ask a few questions of you – the readers.

What articles do you value the most?

Do you prefer stock market related topics? I try to avoid individual stock picking here at SF, but are there market sectors or broad market themes that you want covered?
Do we need more basic personal finance topics covered? There are many exceptional personal finance blogs that cover the basics, so it’s really a niche area that I have purposely omitted.
What are you thoughts upon the bargain hunting articles thus far? I try to pick out the bargains that mainstream media seems to miss, but are you satisfied with what I’ve covered so far?
Would you like more financial planning 101 type articles? I’m not a financial planner, but the basic concepts such as saving for retirement or saving for your kid’s college education via a 529 plan aren’t topics I’ve discussed that often because they’re regularly discussed elsewhere. Should this change?
Any other “X factor” articles that I’m missing? If I’ve left something out that you think SF needs that I’ve neglected to cover, please let me know.

I’m always a quick email or Tweet away (aka – Matt_SF), so don’t hesitate to contact me. And yes, I finally broke down and signed up for Twitter.
