The Poisoning and other links

When I run these links at Yves Q. Smith’s site Naked Capitalism I am a bit the chatty Cathy. Here I run them sans commentary. For those of you who read both, the difference is simple: when in Rome. For those of you who don’t, check out NC, it’s great. Here’s the link to the site and the feed.

P.S. – I do appreciate link tips. You can send them along in a variety of ways

• Via contact form on the site
• To my inbox at edh at creditwritedowns dot com
• To me via Twitter @edwardnh.

That’s it.
