I agree with Jesse. The banks want to pay back their TARP funds as quickly as possible so they will be released from scrutiny on their bonuses. Personally, I’m thinking we should threaten the bankers’ bonuses every damned day until they stop acting like termites (destroying everything from the inside out).
Jesse is one of my seven favorite bloggers in the universe. Here’s the list …
Jesse’s Cafe Americain Great commentary and charts.
The Big Picture. Top-notch analysis from Wall Street players.
Econbrowser. Kinda wonkish, but in a good way.
Naked Capitalism. Great links, great analysis, and I usually end up sending the “antidote du jour” to my daughter every day.
Theoildrum. They’re not only aware of Peak Oil, they’re proposing smart solutions.
The Automatic Earth. Good news roundup and great commentary.
Calculated Risk. Far and away the best economics blog on the web.
I could easily expand this list to 10 or 12 or 20, but too many and it dilutes the recommendation.
Now, for the Chart of the Day …
Another look at the U.S. dollar. I know I’m looking at it a lot lately, but it IS driving EVERYTHING …
We can only hope the US dollar gives us a good enough bounce to add more precious metals positions on the cheap.
Have a good Wednesday.

Thank you for the kind remarks.
I send the antidote du jour almost every day to my goddaughter, often with
a funny caption or dialogue.
All the best,
Jesse
Thanks Sean,
For including me in your top 7.
Much appreciated and surprised.
Kind and humble regards to Martin and Mike.
Ilargi, The Automatic Earth
G’day Sean.
I’m from the land down under, (Oz) and like your commentaries and blog.
Cheers Keith.
Thanks, Keith!
I’ll pass along your kind words to Martin and Mike. And I stand in awe of your work, Ilargi.
Yes, the Antidote du Jour is great. As is your blog. I’m quoting something from your blog in my book, as we discussed in an email exchange last month (I think it was last month). Keep up the great work, Jesse.
Best,
Sean
