Here is a link to a blog written by John Gapper AKA the Financial Times’ chief business commentator; I only stumbled upon it today and found some of the quick blurbs posted from the Davos conference to be rather interesting. It’s a blog worth adding to your RSS reader, bookmarks, etc.

Here is a link to a recent blog post on the role of sovereign wealth funds in bailing out..err investing in U.S. banks.

When the alternative is a deeper credit crunch on our shores and/or banks facing severe funding issues, I don’t think we have much choice but to allow the needed foreign investment.
