If you saw the Permanent Equity Christmas video then you know that I am considered ‘round these parts to be the “Chair of the Matt Levine Fan Club.” And I’ll cop to that. Whenever anyone asks me what they should read, I tell them to subscribe to his Money Stuff newsletter. And whenever anyone asks what I’m laughing about, I usually end up reading aloud to them a paragraph from that day’s column whether they like it or not.

So if you’re not subscribed to Money Stuff, do it. It’s not only entertaining, but the best free finance class you’ll find. We’ll also have a lot more in common and a lot more to talk about when you attend Capital Camp.

As for other things I read daily and recommend (because occasionally I’m asked):

• The Wall Street Journal (for news and the crossword).

• A leading paper from a different foreign city (for a different perspective).

• SEC enforcement action announcements (because one can learn a lot from financial frauds).

• SSRN’s Decision Science research paper feed (for occasional strokes of brilliance).

• The mid-Missouri 10-day weather forecast (because it’s all we ever talk about).

Have a great weekend.
