Welcome to the Friday, October 16, 2009 edition of On the Moneyed Midways! We are your weekly source of the best there is to be found among the Social Media 1.0 phenomenon that is the past week's business and money-related blog carnivals
This was very much one of those weeks where there wasn't much going on in the world of blog carnivals, as we're falling into the gap between for the biweekly, bimonthly and monthly blog carnival editions.
Still, what we found is still the very best of the best! Just scroll down for a shortened sample of the best of the week that was!...

| Festival of Frugality | A Frugal Idea Backfires | M Is for Money | Miss M thought she'd save money by going back to her natural hair color, but forgot to take into account everything else that she would have to change (like makeup and wardrobe) because all her previous purchasing decisions in these areas were based in part on her old dye job! |
| Festival of Stocks | Gold Hype? You're Being Taken for a Ride | Darwin's Finance | We see it hawked in countless television commercials on the cable networks and thanks to its latest runup in price, on CNBC.
