Weekend reading for investors: 28/3/09

Every week I read a large number of personal finance and investing articles. Here’s my latest weekly shortcut to the best.

As usual I’ve linked to a few great blog reads first, followed by some choice articles from the mainstream media.

Good reads from the financial blogosphere

  • The Digerati Life explores a new tool from ING enabling you to compare your bank balance with your peers.
  • Frugal Dad admits having kids early had a negative financial impact on his household finances.

Good articles from other websites and papers

  • What’s the U.S. stock market got to do with butter production in Bangladesh? Nothing, but this article from CNN in 1998 shows how bogus backtesting can be used to suggest the latter predicted the former. (Thanks Mike).
