Funny goes international for the first time at the Canadian Finance Carnival with Ten Ways to Deal with Bag Lady Syndrome. I’ve enjoyed the host site, Canadian Finance Blog, whose proprietor, Tom Drake, is a good writer himself and also shares space with quite a few guest bloggers. The Canadian Finance Carnival is quite a large chivaree, possibly as large as the elephantine Carnival of Personal Finance.
• Darwin’s Money surfaces here with a post on the Efficient Market Hypothesis, a critter some of us suspect is a chimera.
• At BeatingTheIndex.com, proprietor Mich explains why high oil prices may not be a bad thing, a very interesting argument.
• And there’s an interesting discussion at Intelligent Speculator about managing your retirement portfolio so it produces enough for you to live on without eating into principal.
At the Carnival of Personal Finance, Funny takes a second editor’s choice in a row, thanks to Control Your Cash hosts Betty Kincaid and Greg McFarlane, with the post on selecting a financial planner. As usual, this is a vast roundup.
• Len Penzo comes up with a tour de force filled with interesting and strange facts about the design, history, and peculiarities of the Social Security card.
• Next time you’re feeling put-upon by the general ridiculousness of life in America, consider Aloysa’s hair-raising story of life in Lithuania, a tale that makes a pulp thriller look tame.
• If you’re offered a choice between taking a lump sum or an annuity at retirement, Dough Roller has a good discussion of the options.
