Most of the stuff I get from the PR departments of media are pure shite, but this was one of the better pages . . .
the best stuff on bloomberg…
keene is the best out there!
his radio show is one of the few consistent, non-biased media outlets i know of.
I’ve listened to them all. Worth it. Tom Keene does a great job
along with TBP, my Keene podcasts are the things i fail to miss. now for a TBP daily podcast???
I concur about reading media directly… It is shallow, usually just a re-print of what a company put out so not a balanced view.
Blogs are so much better, and you can quickly assess if they are credible or not. Others do the sifting for you with blogs.
Tom Keene is one of the best economic interviewers out there. The program is a do-not-miss and he gets the top talent.
You can subscribe to “on the economy” podcasts via Itunes. Quite worthwhile.
I’ll add to all the praise. Keene’s podcasts are a good listen while in traffic on the way to work.
Given the choice between interviews of various media star Broker analysts cheerleading the market on TV and Tom Keene’s interviews of various economists telling me we’re all going straight to hell, it’ll be Keene every time.
Hearing Keene’s guest describe how unprecedented the sub-prime debacle is and how long it’ll take to unwind got me out of stocks for now, which I’m grateful for. . .
These are times of crisis for our country. The Federal Reserve should acknowledge its responsibility for overinflating the money supply, which has spawned bubbles in real estate, stocks and commodities.
