Trading Site of the Day -- StratFor: Global Intelligence Briefings

John Mauldin's regular Out Of The Box newsletter has recurring essays from George Friedman, the mind behind the informative site called StratFor, a site dedicated to 'Predictive, Insightful, Global Intelligence'.

You can get an idea of the types of things they write about forom article introductions on their main page. This is a 'pay for news' type of site, but I think it well worth it for the individual who wishes to get more information of what is happening 'behind the scenes' regarding the global economy and statistics.

Subscribers recieve multiple daily email releases as well as access to the report archives. Typically there is a morning summary of international happenings, an afternoon summary, as well as major write-up on a significant current event. Iraq figures prominently and often, but China, Russia, Europe, and other world locales do get their fair share of coverage.

This isn't necessarily a trading site per-se, but as the markets are global in nature and are affected by international news events, information releases from this site can help shape daily trading moods.
