It’s been a while since I gave you some links I’ve been reading. You can always follow me on Twitter for some of these, but sometimes I like to share them on the blog. Drop more good reading in the comments.
Roshawn Watson: Competent children don’t need an inheritance, and incompetent children don’t deserve one. Hardcore, but logical. Via Bad Money Advice
Nudges.org: Calorie counting on your receipt. Brilliant idea, but it might cost them sales.
Five Cent Nickel: Price targeting. Getting you to pay more for something you might be able to get for less.
Pop Economics: How good are you at estimating risk? A study says we’re pretty good at it in some things (antibiotics), and terrible at most others (nuclear power).
NY Times Deficit Project: Play God (or Congress) and repair our budget deficit.
Serious Eats: Why McDonald’s hamburgers don’t rot.
WSJ: Mutual funds acting more like hedge funds. The future of retail investing or marketing ploy? Count me in so long as there’s no 2/20 rule.
WSJ: CEO pay still tied to stock performance. Give me some call options and watch your company stock soar too.
