talking point | the blog at LeeHudsonTeslik.com

I discontinued this blog in October 2007.  At the time I was writing about financial markets for the Council on Foreign Relations, the Dow had just hit its all-time high, and some journalists were getting a little giddy. While I certainly didn’t predict the full severity of what was to come, I had done my bit, months before, to illuminate what crumbling subprime debt markets might mean for banks and for the broader economy.

When the crisis came, I found myself very much overwhelmed with work (aside from my normal coverage, which certainly multiplied, here’s what I produced during this period). Needless to say, the blog had to go.

This summer, I left the Council to accept a job offer from Roubini Global Economics.  I’ve been itching to wade back into the blogosphere, and while I’m not any less busy over here in the private sector, the professional transition seems like the best excuse I’m likely to get.

So… I’m resurrecting this old carcass of a blog.  My goals for content are more or less unchanged.  They are outlined here, in the initial introduction I wrote when I first started this thing.

Happy reading.  With luck, my blogging won’t coincide with a market peak the way it did in 2007!
