Need New Reading Material

So basically I need a break from CFA reading and want to read some interesting essays/articles this weekend. I don't want to start a book or anything because that will detract from studying too much...Can anyone suggest some good reading material that I can print online that you have enjoyed? Would appreciate anything interesting on equity research, the state of the market/economy/world, anything industry specific. Thanks! SB to good suggestions.

Yawn, really?

A bunch of guys at the Milken conference who are experts in "their field" as in equities or credit etc talking about macro economics which they have no clue about? And if they have so called "economists" who couldnt spot a bubble if their childs life depended on it talking at the conference they are just paid shills of the Finance based economy.

ZeroHedge, while it does bring to light some good stories also doesnt have much of a clue what they are talking about? Sensationalist media if I ever saw any.

Jan 2010, the euro is ending in 2 weeks Mar 2010, the euro is ending in 2 weeks Jun 2010, the euro is ending in 2 weeks Sep 2010, the euro is ending in 2 weeks skip a half a year Mar 2011, the euro is ending in 2 weeks Jun 2011, Holy Chit Greece is going bankrupt! they are going to default, the euro is going to end. Sep 2011, All of europe is going to default look at the yields on 10 year government bonds for the periphery! but only look at the chart that shows yields for the last month dont get a longer term view it might tell a different story then what we want! Jan 2012, Greek went bankrupt, wait no it didnt, it defaulted but didnt go bankrupt? I dont understand! Mar 2012, Spain is going bankrupt, the euro is ending in 2 weeks.

If you want to start understanding what could possibly happen? Then you better be looking at the websites for the BIS (Bank of International Settlements), ECB papers, Fed Papers and IMF site.

You can start here.....

The BIS "Monetary Policy of over-indebted economies"

http://www.hkimr.org/cms/upload/seminar_app/sem_paper_0_424_Paper_2011%…

And stop worrying about the CFA its a bunch of shit that doesnt actually happen in real life. And for the most part most of the economics you were ever taught in school.

And while you are at it, you better learn what a "sudden stop" is because its close to happening to the country that its "not" supposed to happen to :)

http://ideas.repec.org/p/pra/mprapa/6982.html "When Capital Inflows Come to a Sudden Stop"

and for that matter you also should get a healthy understanding of how sovereign accounting actually works and have a healthy understanding of "the accounting of international capital flows"

I am out to do real work on the policies that actually matter...........
