    Default financial info???

    Where do you get your financial information?? What do you read for everyday use like basic banking, and taxes? What do you read for information if any about the world economy??
    I read www. stretcher.com and www.bankrate.com primarily and they give me enough basic info to help me save and pay off my debts.

    I always check out , as they tend to take a very 'global' view of economics and economic news stories.

    housing/mortgages:
    http://thehousingbubbleblog.com/
    http://www.mortgageimplode.com/
    http://patrick.net/housing/crash.html

    I look at so many places for information, listing them would be ridiculous, all the major news vendors Reuters, Bloomberg, Moody's, Barons, and even a lot of financial blogs.

    Of all things, I use google news the most.

    Wow, I just ask the magic 8ball in my office and place trades for my client's accordingly?

    ^^^ well, based on some recent market moves prompted by behind the scenes hedge fund activity, Federal Reserve coupon passes (i.e. printing money that 'member banks' then loan out for additional stock purchases), corporations borrowing money and buying back their own stock shares with it, etc. - some days we're probably better off using a Magic 8 Ball !

    I read financialsense.com most days. It is a bit gold-buggy, but there are some smart cookies writing there. Plus, they are very nice. I have had some articles posted there myself and Mary, that runs the show, seems - across email at least - to be a very nice lady.

    As for my trades and investments ... I have a monkey that occassionally throws a dart at a page of the Financial Times for me. If a client complains, I have the monkey throw the darts at the client. Works like a charm.
