Here are the top 7 articles on Personal Finance and Stock Market Investing from the first half of September 2011.

These articles have appeared on various blogs. They are selected because of their diversity and the useful information that they provide to the readers. The writers of these posts are independent and not related to the Stock Trend Investing blog.

The 7 articles below are shown in no particular order. I recommend reading them all.

• ObliviousInvestor provides a basic introduction to Options.

• TheFinanceBuff gives a number of logical responses to arguments from John Boggle aganist market timing.

Our own favorite article that we have published in this period is:
