After being swamped with work & new projects, I wrote this post last night between bouts of coding & reading tax returns.  It's fairly unedited until later this weekend when my hatchet people will attack and delete stuff.

Could you give me some feedback on the style and whether it's too long?  Most of the interesting stuff will probably not pass my compliance edit later (especially the story about IPOs assignments – I've already left out a lot of juicy stuff).

It is a little long. Maybe split it into a 2 part post? Part one on defining institutional investors, and part two on retail investors.

Otherwise, I liked it a lot. Very informative!

 I'm looking for editors, beta-readers, and some demographic research for my upcoming novel, Once Upon a Saturn Moon. If you like reading soft sci-fi thrillers, maybe with a touch of romance thrown in, you can find more information at http://seampublishing.com/once…..aturn-moon

Thanks Ed,

 

I'll try to keep the posts much shorter in the future.  I tend to do brain dump when I write. I already left out most of the IPOs behind the scene on how it's marketed – wasn't sure how much of it would violate proprietary information and regulatory restrictions. 

 

When my posts gets edited, it gets a lot shorter.

I agree with Ed. It's too long. 2 posts would do it justice to reap the juicy benefits of what you are trying to share.

I like the idea of turning it into two posts (more bang for your buck!) about 2 different types of investors. Because it is a little long. But nice work!

Personally I like longer, well researched posts.   Think of it as a good "pillar" post which is great if you're targeting certain keywords. 

 

I have one I'm wrapping up that will be 2500-3000 words and I'm shooting a video for it, too.  

 

Is it just me, but is your sidebar messed up?  In Firefox it's all the way at the bottom right of the page.

I'm with Jeff on this one. I like the longer well researched pillar type posts. They always tend to do better on my sites.

 

I'm also seeing the issue with the sidebar showing up at the bottom of the page, not on the side where it should be.
