No hilarious spammer emails or comments to share with you this week - I think the public forum really scared them off (right?). So, I guess I'll just say: happy weekend.
Links We Liked!
- Conor Sen points out on his Tumblr that, if you zoom out a bit, America is quite exceptional - even with all the folks saying otherwise. We agree completely - on any reasonable time scale, the present "few" years and the next "few" are actually optimistic ones.
- Evan at MJTM's got a new list of criteria he's published which he'll check before selling stock. Well, the universe has seen it now - hope you don't mind it!
- Nice piece on economic mobility and technical training from the Wall Street Journal.
- A Stacking Benjamins, a reflection on the world's most famous recent nap, and the napper's lawsuit!
- Nelson at Financial Uproar says it's ridiculous to threaten not to cash a winning lottery ticket.
- Great story from the PoPs about a car that's been in the family three times now(!).
- At First Quarter Finance, an interesting post about how to live well below your means on autopilot - for reasons of efficiency and empathy.
