Independent News Sources
After my blog post encouraging everyone to educate themselves and to try to get their news from "independent" sources, I thought it might be good to pass on the links of some of the sites I frequent.  But let me say this first.  I have a B.S. Degree in Business Administration from USC with double majors in Insurance and Economic Security and Management.  But what I have learned about how the world REALLY works was NOT from my formal education. I usually spend several hours every day browsing various internet blogs and commentaries that are off the beaten path.  Since I know the average person doesn't have time to do that, at the very least, you can take 10 minutes and read my blog every day, and then if you want more, check out the following sites.

This first group of sites offer commenaries from various analysts and economists.  These are sites that are pro-gold, so expect everyone to have a gold bias.  Even so, the economic/statistical information you glean from these guys you will not find anywhere else.
