On the Moneyed Midways - June 4, 2010

Welcome to the Friday, June 4, 2010 edition of On the Moneyed Midways, where each week, we round up the best posts we found in the best of the past weeks money and business-related blog carnivals!

Aside from being a holiday-shortened week, the big news is that the Carnival of Real Estate (or CoRE) has a new organizing force behind it: Jay Thompson of the Phoenix Real Estate Guy blog!

Jay will be taking over the overall management of the all-things-real-estate-related blog carnival, which had originally been developed and organized by the team at Zillow.com, the housing price information site. The CoRE has been on hiatus while Zillow sought a highly qualified organizer to take over its operation.

We'll look forward to the return of the CoRE in future editions - in the meantime though, the best posts we found in the week that was are ready to help you kick off your essential money and business-related weekend reading....
