The Carnival of Investing - March 12, 2007 Edition
Welcome to the March 12, 2007 edition of the Carnival of Investing!
We have a smorgasbord of articles from which you can choose.
I have sorted the articles into three categories below:
* Editors Choice,
* Honorable Mention, and
* Straying a Bit, but still interesting.
Enjoy your feast,
The Skilled Investor

HONORABLE MENTIONS:
Tom Hanna presents Financial Roadmap March 12 to 17, 2007 posted at Financial Options, saying, “The big indicators of the week will be the release of the Producer Price Index on Thursday and the Consumer Price Index on Friday, the major indicators of wholesale and retail price inflation respectively. The US federal budget, which has been coming in with a lower than expected deficit pretty consistently, will also bear watching as a continued downtrend in the deficit could equate to a mollified Federal Reserve and lower interest rates.”
