I'm putting this guy's weekly youtube here as he'sl good for analysing or at least aggregating the economic news of the week. He's a Californian businessman who seems to have done quite well for himself and is very popular on youtube among the finance geeks. Last week he reported from his new home in the country where he was waiting on the chicken-coop delivery man. I'd have them too if I had the space for them. He calls it the Depression but he's not too depressing sounding. Here he is talking about the ups and downs of the dollar this week and the auto bailout among other stuff. 16 mins.
