Weekend Recap – October 18, 2009
Ah, this weekly update thing is difficult to keep up. I’ve been keeping track of interesting articles, but I just don’t seem to find the time to post them. I’ve got a mish mash for you all tonight. Get reading!
Before we begin, I want to help a fellow blogger promote his new Value Investing Forum. Jonathan Goldberg is an MBA from the University of Western Ontario and has a value investing blog at JonathanGoldberg.com and hopes to inspire a community of investors to share ideas (much like my goal at TheCuriousInvestor. So, COMMENT!)
Without further ado, here are some articles which piqued my interest last week (or two).
- Chris Whalen, managing director at Institutional Risk Analytics (via Jesse’s Cafe Americain) believes that Q4 will be a bloodbath for the banking industry.
- Dividend Growth Investor discusses the benefits of an emotionless sell policy. I absolutely agree. I’ve written a few posts on this topic myself:
- Ino.com presents a detailed technical analysis of Oil ETFs. (Full Disclosure: Curious Investor is an affiliate)
- I highly suggest this excerpt from Andrew Ross Sorkin’s new book, Too Big to Fail
. It’s a great inside look at what really went on as America’s banking industry was at the brink.
- Contingent Capital discusses an easy ratio for determining the health of banks.
- Naked Capitalism talks about the continuing shift away from denominating oil in US Dollars. Looks like Kevin Philips’ warnings in Bad Money may be coming true faster than we thought.
