Should You Be Worried About Rising Interest Rates? ⇒ Link to Seeking Alpha Original post by TSP_Transfer
Overdraft charges now 60% of checking fees "Regulators appear to be losing the battle against rising overdraft fees" ⇒ Link to "Market Watch" Article
Yes, Banks Are Reordering Your Transactions And Charging Overdraft Fees "Banks reorder debit card transactions in various ways that can lead to costly overdraft fees" ⇒ Link to Forbes Article
Japanese stocks slide, join global selloff on Bank of Japan jitters "Japanese stocks slumped further on Wednesday, joining a global selloff" ⇒ Link to Reuters Article
Recession prompted 'unprecedented' fall in wages "Wages have fallen more in real terms during the current economic downturn than ever before" ⇒ Link to BBC Business News
Note: I realize that historically on both FundAlarm and MFO there has been, with at least some posters, a strong sense of "proprietorship" regarding who posts a link first, and so forth. Personally, I have never quite understood this: if an article is interesting to and posted by more than one person, that may simply speak well for the article.
In posting a number of articles last week I wasn't particularly happy with the large amount of space taken up on the Discussions page, and thought that it might be an interesting experiment to consolidate articles within a single posting, using a simple but attractive format.
TSP_Transfer has added some very interesting articles of his own, and in fact today initiated the posting, which I appreciate. To maintain consistency in formatting, I've taken the liberty to reproduce his links here along with some additional ones. As far as I'm concerned, I appreciate any additional posts to this daily thread, and I hope that this is acceptable to all concerned.
Speaking of formatting, thanks to a lot of hard work by Accipiter it's dirt simple. "How to" and examples are contained in the User Guide, a pdf file downloadable under "Resources".
It is acceptable to me Joe! I copied and pasted your banner from yesterday and started the post this AM with today's date.I hope this did not offend you.I think it is a great idea to aggregate these items under one banner or headline.I also think that anyone posting an item that is pertinent to investing but does not include a question or comment concerning a particular mutual fund or ETF have the courtesy to include a one or two sentence introduction as to how or why the post may be of interest to the rest of us! Thanks for your efforts.
