Free weekend reading stuff


Live Free Or Die! Yay, it's the freestuff post. Get yourself learned up on these free themes and memes, all of a business type this week:

UBS has published a macro outlook for 2009, what the financial crisis means to different sectors and how the recession might play out. Here's the link to the PDF download.

Here's an interview with highly respected stock analyst David Coffin, the subject being Canadian uranium junior Hathor (HAT.v). Not my metal and certainly not my geographical area, but as Mickey Fulp also likes this stock I thought I'd pass this one on. DYODD, dude. Here's the link.

Here's the link to a free report from Moody's, entitled "Into The Woods: Mortgage Credit Quality, Its Prospects and Implications." You need to fill out a form to get this, but it's still 100% free, gratis and for nothing. Here's the blurb and here's the link again, just in case:

This Moody's Economy.com special study utilizes unique data from Equifax and Moody's Investor Services to assess future levels of credit degradation and where the greatest challenges will be realized. The study evaluates the threat mortgage credit problems pose to the housing market and broader economy, and the scenarios under which these problems could result in an economic recession.
