Words from the (investment) wise for the week that was (October 13 – 19, 2008)

What a crazy week! A week in which the Dow Jones Industrial Average managed to record both its largest single-day points increase and its second-largest one-day points decline since its start in 1896. Interbank and commercial lending rates started to ease with the overnight Libor rate dropping to 1.66% on Friday from a high of 6.87% on September 30. Read all about this in my weekly review, highlighting some thought-provoking news items and quotes from market commentators during the past week.

• Conversations with John Mauldin

  For those not familiar with John’s latest project, it is called "Conversations with John Mauldin". The most recent Conversation was with Gary Shilling and Donald Coxe. Previous Conversations included the views of Chris Whalen on the banking crisis, Lacy Hunt and Ed Easterling on the fundamentals of the economic crisis, and Nouriel Roubini. Audios and transcripts of the Conversations are being produced. Although an annual subscription for eight Conversations retail at $199, I have negotiated a special price of $149 (-25%) for Investment Postcards readers. To find out more, just click on the image above and enter code JM55 (at the end of the form), which will give you the discounted price.
