Favorite Websites/Blogs

Here are some blogs/websites that I frequent relating to the stewardship of money/investing.

1. Carpe Diem: Economist Mark Perry gravitates towards the optimistic side of things. I like that. Chris Davis of Davis Advisors said a few years ago, "You sound smarter when you are pessimistic but history has tended to reward optimists."

2. Infectious Greed: Paul Kedrosky links articles of interest that relate to investing/managing money.

3. Hussman Funds: John Hussman gives excellent weekly commentary on his view of investing. He has compiled an impressive track record of conservative growth in a difficult decade to be a growth investor.

4. Greg Mankiw: Harvard professor's economics blog.

Less frequent posts, but I enjoy reading their commentary:

5. GMO: Led by Jeremy Grantham. This firm has compiled a good track record predicting asset class returns for 7-10 year periods.

6. Crestmont Research: Ed Easterling's research on stock market cycles.

7. Stewardship Partners: Rusty Leonard's quarterly newsletter highlighting his view of world markets and biblical stewardship principles.

It is a tough time economically. The future is always a mixture of difficulty and opportunity. No one sees the future clearly except our Lord. But wise counsel always helps in understanding some of the risks and possibilities of what the future has in store.

For God's Glory,
