Welcome to this special Saturday, November 11, 2007 edition of On the Moneyed Midways, the blogosphere's best weekly review of the best of business and money-related posts collected from the best of the week's major business and money-related blog carnivals!
Truth be told, all it takes to make a "special" Saturday edition of OMM is the delay that comes when we get so busy during the week that we can't review all the posts from all the blog carnivals we cover! Other than that, there's really no difference between what we might post on a Saturday compared to what we would post in a regular Friday edition.
That said, all the best posts we found in the week that was await below....
