Neu_spir8 - I will definitely keep track of upcoming news event and how the data came out compare to previous month, but I will not read any review or preview at all. This will keep me unbiased as lately I was taking trades based on those reviews and not following my technical analysis. On the other hand I will keep reading stuff related to psychological aspect of trading and I also like to read lot of motivational quotes to keep my self going.

The only fundamentals I think are worth paying attention to is interest rates, but even that one is hit and miss
