Bushonomics: Sidebar Changes 4

I’ve added two sites to the sidebar to which I want to call your special attention:

Marketwatch, a service of the Wall Street Journal, and Bonddad. So far, I haven’t gotten the Bonddad RSS feed to work. but I’m going to keep at it.

Both of them are financial sites highly recommended by Ray, who has made and lost fortunes in the markets.

(By the way, Ray has promised to work on a post to explain to us what hedge funds are and how they work. I suspect most of us who keep hearing the term “hedge funds” don’t really know what it means; Ray does.)

On Marketwatch, I recommend checking the comments to the stories; the commenters there are only in it for the bucks (that is, they are concerned about what’s happening to the financial markets) and, consequently, bring a special perceptiveness about what’s happening in the financial markets as it relates to the economy as a whole.

Bonddad is a “chartist.” He posts and explains charts about what is happening in the economy.

Check them both out and batten down the hatches. The Bushonomics storm really hasn’t started yet.

    At what point will Obama no longer be allowed to blame bad economic news in his administration on Bush?

    He will be Roosevelt to Bush’s Hoover.

            i suspect that sometime down the road all our economic problems both current and future will be traced to deregulation and general lack of oversight in the financial community in peticular hedge funds. We have left the barn door open and now wonder why the horse is gone!

    You mean Obama isn’t going to be able to fix this?

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
