There's been a lot of financial news happening the past eight months--stuff you might miss even if you watch CNBC or Bloomberg news. Reading financial-related weblogs (and accompanying comments) helps keep me up on events. Sure, some Internet commentary may be over the top or wrong. But, taken as a whole, it gives me a better picture of what's really happening.

There's a lot of good stuff out there; I can't read it all. These are sites I check in on almost on a daily basis.

I've been following these for months:

Calculated Risk

Global Economic Analysis

In the last few weeks I've added:

The Market Ticker

Within the last few days this blog has emerged on my radar screen:

Zero Hedge

I also give a shout out to the site of one of my college classmates:

Macro and Other Market Musings
