12/7/08: Savings in this crisis

What is going on with savings, stocks and bonds?

This article explains a lot about banks, savings, world finance, etc. It helps to know something about the specifics of our financial crisis so we respond to the situation as intelligently as possible. The article also has links to some good articles in it about housing prices around the world and about savings and investment: what is happening and what is needed.

At this point in history if you don't talk the economic talk you are being led blindly into the future.
