A Few Favorite Economic Sites & Blogs

There are many opinions out there as to whether the U.S. is headed for deflation or inflation… or even hyper-inflation. I’m not married to any theory, but am actively dating them all. I do wonder how the Fed can possibly inflate us out of this recession again. The old tricks don’t seem to be working. But I’m a wait and see kind of gal. On that note, consider reading this smart article by John Herring, Would You Rather Be Right… Or Rich? It’s not too late to divorce your old economic theories and shop the market a bit more before tying the knot. The markets these days beg for flexibility and quick thinking. With that said, here are some of my favorite stops online to fill my brain with economic chatter.

Global Economic Analysis – I read Mish’s commentary everyday. He’s a prolific writer and has been dead-on with his deflation/strong USD/tanking commodities this year. If you want global and grim economic news straight-up, no candy-coating, you’ll be “in the know” here. Mish doesn’t miss an unemployment report from Britain or the skyrocketing vacancy rates of shopping malls in Germany.

Itulip.com – The philosophy here centers around bubble cycles separated by shorter dis-inflationary recessions. I-tulipers are expecting one last great bubble after this short deflationary period is over. With Obama’s big plans to put every American on his payroll, one has to wonder if they might be right. Frankly, I read this site to balance out the very pro-deflation theory over at Mish’s site.

Minyanville – I believe this is called “infotainment.” Keven Depew is a favorite.

Free articles at Kitco.com - I tend to read anything by Chris Laird of Prudent Squirrel. I like Jon Nadler’s sage take on metals. Everbank’s president, Chuck Butler, writes daily about currencies, interest rates, etc. Yes, everyone has a product to sell, but there are some gems in there.
