I blog at Mish's Global Economic Trend Analysis which typically has commentary every day of the week. I am also a contributing "professor" on Minyanville, a community site focused on economic and financial education.

I do weekly podcasts every Thursday on HoweStreet and a brief 7 minute segment on Saturday on CKNW AM 980 in Vancouver.

When not writing about stocks or the economy I spends a great deal of time on photography and in the garden. I have over 80 magazine and book cover credits. Some of my Wisconsin and gardening images can be seen at MichaelShedlock.com.
