It was an incredible week for both sports and the economy. I couldn’t have asked for more excitement.
The Sports
- Lebron continued in beast-mode fashion to torch the Celtics (although the series was extremely entertaining). The Heat/Thunder series should be a high-flying finale.
- The French Open will continue play tomorrow with Djokovic/Nadal battling (like they always do).
- Anytime countries are in combat, I tend to watch. The UEFA cup is a spectacle everyone should tune into.
The Economy
- US stocks are coming off their best week of 2012 and should continue to ride this wave into Monday. Eurozone finance ministers agreed to lend Spain up to 100 billion euros to help out the banks.
The Blogosphere
I was much more active this past week when it comes to reading other blogs. There were a number of phenomenal posts but I can’t possibly highlight them all. My “article of the week” isn’t actually an article at all (5 A’s in a row – whoa!).
I recommend everyone visit My University Money to read their E-book on ETF Investing. With the increase in popularity of these investments, I suggest you read this ASAP.
