Edward Harrison here. We have launched our fundraiser to help pay for this site’s maintenance. As founder and editor of Credit Writedowns, I have had the distinct pleasure of funding this site out of pocket for the last three years. I am asking you today to help me keep it going as a free site, welcome to all who are interested in what’s going on in the markets and the economy.

One key lesson I think we have all learned over the past three and a half years since Credit Writedowns began as “Ed’s Forum” is that global macro issues matter. For years, we had been told that all was not just well but better than ever before. We were supposed to be in a period of unprecedented economic nirvana brought on by the captains of industry and finance and the economic technocrats piloting our global economic ship. And we were all living our lives, doing our work, raising our children, and paying our bills when… bang, we got run over by a runaway freight train called the global economy.

So, global macro matters. And that’s why I write on this blog and I hope that’s why you keep coming back to see what we have in store for you. Here’s the thing; these are very serious issues – existential for some people, literally the thing that can decide if you have a job or not, whether your retirement plan is on track or underfunded, and whether or not you can live in peace and tranquility or in a permanent state of stress. So make no bones about it, this is sobering stuff. But, when I can, I try to take the edge off. I want you to feel like Credit Writedowns is a place you can go and feel comfortable, relieved and entertained.

Here’s what I am asking of you. Help make this a better site, a go-to destination for news and information about finance, markets and the economy. I wish you all the best and I look forward to your donations, comments, and suggestions.

Yours,

Edward
