Zero Hedge. Required daily reading for the inside dope on what is happening in the markets. The news you don't see on CNBC -- often right, always provocative.

The Big Picture. Mainly for investors, not traders, but a good selection of general information about markets and the economy. Not the mainstream view.

Trader Feed. The blog of Dr. Brett Steenbarger, a psychologist who specializes in trading psychology. His market calls are so-so, but the insight into trader psychology is priceless.
