The Bloggers on the left side of the Page

In an effort to fill space and provide a little insight I thought I would share what I like about the blogs and websites I have posted for recommended reading.

Calculated Risk - http://www.calculatedriskblog.com/Once two contributors, now one due to the passing of Tanta. She would have been someone I would have loved to meet in person. Th's blog is a awesome catch all for all things geeky in the financial sector. Great graphs and very easy to understand explanations of banking and finance. Usually updated multiple times a day.

Truth about Mortgage.com -http://www.thetruthaboutmortgage.com/ Short posts on the "topics" of the moment as the author sees fit. This site has been a site I look to for precise and condensed versions of longer articles in other publications. More times than I can count articles from this site have led me on wonderful searches to other sites and traditional news sources. Plus every story has a pic, bonus.

Market Ticker - http://market-ticker.denninger.net/ Karl Denniger was one of my early blog heroes, still is. Unfortunately he has definitely moved on from his original raison d'etre. That of giving readers insight into his very brilliant mind on the trading of options to one that is definitely more political. He definitely will call out less than intelligent congressmen and politicians. Don't agree with about 70% of the stuff he says but I still respect his opinion. His website has a traders forum that is never boring.

Paul Krugman - http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/ New York Times columnist, Econmist, Nobel Prize Winner. "Nuff said. To my recollection he has not been wrong about what has happened to our economy, yet. Not that I would put Karl Denniger and Mr. Krugman in the same club but they do offer a nice counter to each others opinions.
