Hi Curmudgeon, thanks for the link. The more I think about it, the more I think we need a revamped ethics policy for financial reporters. I also think I need a bigger shovel for the salt that I’m consuming with reading each article.

Blogs have the power to shake things up for the better.
It takes work. But it can be done. And it can be fun work.
It’s one thing to comment on bad stuff. It’s better (in my view) to do something about it.
If a few people get worked up enough to want to start organizing some efforts, I’m in.
The type of thing I am envisioning is a site that could be maintained by a group of blogs that would provide materials for savers and investors to refer to for help in sorting out the good advice and the good articles from the junk. We could provide short write-ups re the various money reporters and re the various experts. We could construct a FAQ statement.
There’s a crying need for this sort of thing, in my assessment. There’s nothing you can do that can’t be done. All you need is love.
