A few hours after this post goes live, I’ll be boarding a plane to Dallas for my cousin’s wedding. In honor of that, and the sound of my bed calling me to it, I’m going to keep this intro brief and launch right into the five things you should read:
1. The article Cash4Gold doesn’t want you to read @ The Consumerist – I know that title may not make you want to read this post. You might be thinking, I don’t have any gold I want to sell so who cares. Read this. You’ll be impressed by how awesome The Consumerist is.
2. Hey Congress Why Don’t You @ Taxgirl – This is a series by the readers of suggestions to Congress about ways to change the tax code. I linked to getting rid of taxes for dividends because that’s the one I most agree with;) This entire blog is phenomenal though. Taxgirl has a nice writing style. Head over and read some of her own posts. Good stuff.
3. US makes $4 billion from bailout of banks @ Yahoo Finance – What do you know? They’re turning a profit. While that’s not what the US government should be doing (lending money for profit). It’s not the worst outcome I can think of. Taxpayers aren’t getting raked over the coals the way that many pundits said we were.
4. 20 Free Stock Trades with Zecco @ The Digerati Life – I saw this posted several different places, and I almost wrote a blog post about it. In the end, I decided that I would just link to someone. If you’re thinking about opening an account somewhere, it’s tough to beat this deal from Zecco.
5. Hedging Against the Declining Dollar @ Tough Money Love – This isn’t a brand new post, but the advice doesn’t make any less sense than it did a couple months ago. TML is actually one of my favorite blogs, but I actually think Grumpy Money would be a better name for it. Optimism isn’t his thing. It’s a good (grumpy) read anyway. Have a good weekend and thanks for reading.
