Welcome again to this week's edition of On the Moneyed Midways, the blogosphere's only review of the best business and money-related posts of the week that was! Each week, we review more than a dozen blog carnivals, seeking out the posts most worth reading. What's more, we award one post each week with the title of being The Best Post of the Week, Anywhere!(TM)
It was a very strong week for the business-end of the blogosphere. There were several contenders for the top award, with this week's winner just barely edging out Christine Kane's top notch post. What did The Best Post of the Week, Anywhere! offer this week that put it over the top? A close look at housing price data, which found a pattern that has gone missing from mass (or mainstream) media reporting.
This also points out one of the strengths or weaknesses of the method by which we select The Best Post of the Week, Anywhere!. If we were looking over a month's worth of posts, or a year's, with the choice between the same two posts at the top of our list, we would have picked Christine Kane's as the best. However, since we review the posts weekly, we opted to go for the more topical post, as it is based on analysis of recently trumpeted, and widely reported, news reports.
In any case, you should read both posts, right along with the nuggets we found while panning this past week! Scroll down for more....
