Carnivals



Carnival of Investing. Recommended: Old Niu's Blog (I do not agree with the forward forecasting 100%, but it's worth reading for the way he treats some concepts in accordance with the Law of Large Numbers), Daily Dose of Optimism (a compare/contrast of Japanese corporate culture and structure with our own).



Carnival of Personal Finance. Recommended: Financial Reference, Conservative Cat for a nice detailed article about "hot stock tips" emails. I think I remember getting the same one; I forwarded it to enforcement@sec.gov.

RINO Sightings

Mudville Gazette debunks the latest left wing craziness about our soldiers: That the women are so scared of going to the latrine that they are not drinking water and therefore dying of dehydration. What he says makes sense in light of what I remember from Boy Scouts. It also makes sense in light of realpolitik. He closes with "I propose the following theory: Regardless of the number of individuals in the group, the combined IQ of people who believe this story will never exceed 10." I'm with him.
