Stocks have been see-sawing all morning - the Dow took a big tumble, then bounced back a bit. I'm not sure where it's going, but this article tells us where it's been for today.
A relatively new podcast, called Planet Money, is one of the best ways to follow the current economic situation - it's been spun out of a recent This American Life episode, and it manages to explain some of the complex factors of the current situation in an easy-to-understand way. Highly recommended.
Finally, I thought this was interesting: FDR's Fireside Chat on backing up the banking system, from 1933.
