Weekend Reading – iPad Cometh Edition

With Apple’s stock at an all-time high on anticipation of blockbuster iPad sales with an estimated 20,000 units sold per hour on opening day today, it makes you wonder whether such a hot item is completely recession-proof.

Weekend Reading: I’m A Plutus Award Finalist Edition

I thought I’d dedicate this weekend reading edition to a shameless plea for votes in the Plutus Awards, as I was nominated for Best Investing Blog of 2009.

Weekend Reading – Spooky Halloween Edition

With Halloween upon us, no politics, no rants about our country’s profligate spending, just enjoy the weekend, either with kids of your own or scare the hell out of some trick-or-treaters. The market’s been acting a bit scary of late, but after a 60% move from pivot bottom, it would be unreasonable to expect no [...]

Weekend Reading – Balloon Boy Edition

Another week of great reads. These are entries from blogs I frequent, and I hope you will too (just come back!). I’ve also included various finance/investing carnivals that published my material this week and my favorite posts from my two blogs. This week’s edition coincides with a rather bizarre tale of a publicity-seeking family that [...]
