Please review my investing and finance website!

    I would like to solicit feedback regarding my investing and finance website. My goal is to eventually incorporate other authors and newsfeeds, but as of right now it's just an extension of what I normally do anyways...keep an investing journal.

    Please give me feedback of any sorts. If you are a financial whiz, feel free to talk shop. If you are a design guru, please feel free to talk about the strengths and weaknesses of my design.

    My domain name www.nakedvalue.com is inspired by a Warren Buffett investing quote, "When the tide goes out, you find out who was swimming naked."

    My traffic has been much higher than expected out of the box, but my bounce rate is also higher than expected. I would like to get the bounce rate below 30%.

    Thanks. Design is important and I want to make sure it is as easy on the eyes and user as possible but my main focus is on the content. That is why I try to keep the site clean.

    Thanks. What enhancements would make the site better than "Ok?"

    Nice Site.. but one thing that i dont like is how the "share" Function is in your face.. and if your mouse goes over it it take over your screen can possible deter user from coming back..
    Just Constructive criticism

    Lindsay, that is great criticism. I will change it. Please check back later tonight hopefully I will find a better share function, less in your face.

    Anything else? =)

    Mirana, Thanks for looking. Copyscape looks like a great tool. Are you affiliated with them?

    igX, That is a wonderful idea. So far I have been concentrating on the original content in the blog area but the biographies would be a great way to pick up some links.
