Welcome to the Friday, August 8, 2008 edition of On the Moneyed Midways, your weekly review of the best posts we found in reading through the hundreds posted to past week's money and business-related blog carnivals!
The Festival of Stocks hit a milestone this past week, as it celebrates its 100th edition. And though we didn't mention it when it happened just two weeks ago, the Carnival of Real Estate also marked its 100th edition!
Beyond that, there's not much in news in blog carnival land this week! The Carnival of Trust is on hiatus through the month of August, the Carnival of Taxes was postponed by a week and the Odysseus Medal would appear to be on an extended summer vacation.
But for the blog carnivals that take no time off and are not featuring special anniversary editions, it was a good week! The best posts of the week that was are below....
