About Current Events

**Finance Globe** · July 17th, 2008, 12:26 AM

I wanted to let everyone know that we just introduced a new section "current events". You can find this at http://www.financeglobe.com/Finance/...urrent-Events/ and also soon to be featured on the home page.

You can use the correct topic under this forum for discussing current event stories/articles about our economy.

Cool new idea FG!

Cool!

Good. With the way the economy is going there will be a lot of current event articles.

Rob, I agree. You read my mind.

I'm very glad to hear the enthusiasm. I thought that it was about time we stepped into this topic.

I am going to make a sub-forum under this economic forum so we can discuss the article / summary. We are only going to research economic related issues - that will more than likely have an impact on us financially. In addition, I will start a new thread for suggestions.

I think this is going to give us a good base, so everyone can read up and make informed posts about our current economic situation.

My goal of this new section is to keep us all informed about our economy, and ways to make the best of it.

Will links to articles we read on the web be welcome like we have done on other threads?

**Finance Globe** · July 17th, 2008, 05:05 PM

Definitely. My goal is to not have duplicate posts, so if the topic is already in discussion and established, I will link the article to the appropriate forum.

Citi Bank is still NOT out of the soup yet nor is CIT. Wells Fargo bought a boat full of less than great loans with Wacovia Bank along with its own oops. We will have a while until all this subprome mess shakes out. I know for a fact in my part of Minnesota our tax collection delinquencies went from 2% to 10% in six months. Not good!
