An Excellent Explanation of the Financial Crisis

These days when people find out the industry I work in, one of the first questions they ask me is about the current financial crisis.  When I started my job, I received some excellent training on the financial markets and in particular the credit crisis. A college friend recently tweeted a link to a short video explaining the whole mess in a way that almost anyone can understand and it reminded me of the training that I received. I decided to post the link here just in case you missed my post on Twitter. I highly recommend watching this video. Hopefully it will reduce the number of questions I am asked. 🙂

The Crisis of Credit Visualized

I signed up for Twitter today. For those of you that don’t know, Twitter is a microblog. It allows you to post short messages (140 character max) about where you are or what you are doing. My plan is to eventually link my Twitter feed into my main blog so there is one place to check my quick twitter posts and my full length blog posts. For now, you can see the feed by going to my Twitter page. If you have twitter, feel free to follow me.

P.S. If anyone knows a good way to integrate a Twitter feed into a WordPress blog, let me know. 🙂
