For those looking for an insider’s explanatory take on what’s happening over on Wall Street, I refer you to Purse Pundit’s blog. For those of you who don’t yet know Jacki Zehner, the pundit behind the punditry over there, she’s a frequent media commentator on women’s success in the workplace, women and wealth, investing, and philanthropy. She was the youngest woman, and first female trader, to be invited into the partnership of Goldman Sachs. The woman knows her sh*t.

And for a lyrically philosophical take on the Wall Street catastrophe as played out in Times Square, from the perspective of a visual observer, check out Marco’s latest at OpenSalon, titled “Dystopia Now.”
