Where you get info, and strictly info, is pretty consistent. I get it from WSJ and Bloomberg primarily. For theory, aside from my education, I read Becker & Posner's blog pretty religiously, on the whole they are pretty consistent with how I think. Mises, though not all of it, is another source I tend to read with interest.

@mact3333: The graph you posted does not prove your point, especially as since 2006 it is mere estimates from your friend John Williams. Either way, even his own estimates show decrease in M3 growth rate since the bubble burst. Yes, he estimates an upturn since mid 2010. If you take M3 growth since the bubble burst, as a rate, growth goes from about 15% Yr/Yr to 2% Yr/Yr. That is not what I would consider a sharp increase in M3 growth. As a big picture guy, you surely seem good at missing it. Even if we are taking a long term view, at least from when M3 stopped being officially reported, growth is down about 5%.
