A little weekend reading...
Compiled by Anthony Demangone
I'm heading back "home" to Towanda this weekend. Kate and Briggs are excited, as there's a firemen's carnival up the road. I'm excited, because friends and family will be there. As well as Mom's lasagna.Â
Here's the best of my reading pile, and may you have a good meal with family and friends this weekend as well.
- Amazon is getting ready to take on Square in the payments arena. (Washington Post)
- The reasons why top lenders are pulling back on some borrowers. (Washington Post)
- Why is it so hard to remember someone's name? (The Atlantic)
- And while we're at it, why is it so easy to miss our own typos? (Wired)
- Poor, poor banks. We credit unions have it so easy. Oh by the way, bank profits are at an all time high. (WSJ)
- Yeah! Job openings are on the up. Still doesn't feel so great, though! (Calculated Risk)
- Share this line-up with your compliance and risk management team. Not too shabby. (NAFCU's Compliance Seminar Speaker's List.)
- Classic brilliance from Godin. What's it for? (Godin)
- The "Disney" economy is back. (CNN Money)
That's enough for now, I guess. If you see a light blue minivan heading up Route 220 on Saturday, please waive.Â
