Welcome to the March 31, 2006 edition of the only mini-Carnival dedicated to highlighting the best posts contributed to the major business, economics and personal finance related blog carnivals! We're trying out a new static table-based format this week (although not a dynamic table, since the contents aren't really rankable!) But enough technical talk - here are the best posts of the week!
