Your nest egg isn’t growing but sites about the economy and investing are.

Every morning, after reading my good old newspapers, I head to the computer and make my rounds, checking out the money news -related web sites to see what everyone’s talking about.
Without fail, I visit the New York Times and WSJ. Then I’ll head to Portfolio, Yahoo Finance, MSN Money and CNN Money. And depending on how much time I have, I’ll browse headlines at Slate, Thestreet.com, The Consumerist, Bloomberg and the public radio program Marketplace.
But this weekend I came across a new one for me from the makers of Slate. The Big Money, a site that launched in Sept to bring you the skinny “on all important aspects of economics and money without getting bogged down in arcane statistics or impenetrable jargon.”
There’s another site I’ve been frequenting recently for money news and that’s NPR’s Planet Money blog and podcast.
Where do you go for your money news and stories related to the economy that make you think?
One response to "Your nest egg isn’t growing but sites about the economy and investing are."
The Big Money has been a decent addition to Slate, although the Slate brand seems to be getting a bit watered down with all the add-ons. But the site has made some great adjustments lately for readability and ease of use. Daniel Gross continues to have great articles on Slate.
Of course, given that I am sans smartphone, I still carry the trusty WSJ Sunday/Strib Sunday Biz section and pore over it on the bus. I miss Jonathan Clements in WSJ Sunday but I’m glad locals Ross Levin and Gene Walden still contribute to the Strib. And duh, Kara’s articles.
