People who make sense . . .

In watching this economic event unfold over the years, I have come to rely on the opinions, research and ideas of a small handful of people who tell it like it is, make sense and appear to be genuinely concerned about others. In finding this group of people I have ruled out those who have any sort of agenda. Instead, I read, listen and pay attention to those who aren't trying to sell me an investment idea or product. Below is a list of people I have found to be logical, rationale and full of good information:



John Mauldin http://www.johnmauldin.com/

Timely advice from a wide ranging variety of economic and political experts.



Porter Stansberry http://www.stansberryresearch.com/

Similar to Mauldin, different spin, more product offerings.



Mike Morgan http://www.morgan-florida.org/

A true wild man with no holds barred comments on the economy, our political leaders and potential future realities.



Kirk Nace http://www.theresultsgrouponline.com/

Looking for thought provoking questions intended to help you think your way through any situation? This is your guy.



David Tanzer http://www.davidtanzer.com/

Global asset protection strategies are Tanzer's niche



Robert Schiller www.econ.yale.edu/~shiller/

Somewhat mainstream, but tends to tell it like it is and his projections on the economy are generally more accurate than any other well known economist.

Sandy Botkin www.taxreductioninstitute.com/

Best tax advice available, period



I am sure there are lots of others, who I am unaware of, but studying any/all of these people will most certainly allow you to see through the political self serving BS all around us so that you can make more informed decisions. If you have any other suggestions, I would appreciate your posting them here for all to benefit from.
