Welcome to the Saturday, December 6, 2008 edition of On the Moneyed Midways, the only place on the web where you can catch up with the best posts from the best of the past week's money and business related blog carnivals!
We deliberately delayed this edition since we hosted the Cavalcade of Risk earlier this week! I know the big question that those who checked in there is "did the best post of the Cavalcade become The Best Post of the Week, Anywhere" or did it just turn out to be Absolutely essential reading!?"
Well, maybe it did, and maybe it didn't. Just scroll down to the best posts of the week that was to see for yourself!...
