100 Best Economic Blogs

Review two blogs from this list of the 100 best blogs for economics students. Make sure they are from different categories, and don't repeat one that someone else has already done. Yes I realize that this means you will have to check the previous posts to see which ones have already been reviewed. The sooner you do this one the easier it will be. Reviews need to include:
1) Content
2) Appearance
3) Ease of Navigation
4) Apparent bias

1: Economics Help
This blog mainly contains writings that "simplify" the complex subject of economics. It provides an ample amount of information (both written and graphed) and explains economic terms and even connects them with scenarios that have occurred in the past. The appearance of this blog is very orderly and one blog post is clearly separated from another. Navigation is very easy as newer posts are on top and older posts are on the bottom. Bias includes the blogger's opinion after a paragraph of purely factual information. The blogger says what he thinks the government should do to fix problems in many situations.

2: Freakonomics
This blog mainly explains the latest economic news going on. It is also well organized and easy to navigate. It is very informative and up to date with current events. Bias is subtly shown in the name of the titles the blogger gives to each of his posts.

1: Winterspeak.com
This blog contains information about the bloggers personal opinion on topics, such as technology and copyright, and connects these topics to the current economy. The anonymous blogger's slogan for the site is "Thoughts on human interaction within the next 25 years". The appearance as well as the navigation use is simple. If desired one can even access blogs going back to the blogger's first blog. There is a biased view of the blogger for it is written in his/hers personal perspective.

2: Angry Bear
This blog contains information on economic commentary on news politics, and the economy. This blog has a number of different bloggers who blog for this site. The appearance of this site is relatively clustered and can be a little much when first seen by the eye. The navigation is a little complex, but with at least 10 minutes on the site one should get the hang of things. There is a liberal bias on the blog.

1: Beat the Press
This website brings simplicity in navigation as all the recent articles are displayed on the front page. The articles includes a variety of topics that coincide with current events. Also it gives a short snippet of the article so the viewer can determine whether or not the article is interesting enough to read. In addition, the website may be targeted towards more social people, as they have options for Facebook, Twitter, and Google+.

2. The Economic Populist
This website just pours out the information as you are just submerged by all the articles on the home page and the suggested articles on the side. The information posted on the website seems to be suited more for people who already know a lot about the economy as the content is very technical and includes graphs along with the articles. The navigation is fairly basic as you have to scroll up and down to look for articles.

First up, Economic Logic (General)!
This blog's content ranges from arguments over government employee wages to whether circumcised males exhibit riskier sexual behavior. However, with all of these things, the author ties them back to economics by explaining how such subjects apply to a market place (When something becomes safer [i.e. being circumcised reduces the chance of spreading AIDS], people generally find a way to make it riskier, which can wreak havoc in a stock market). The blog's appearance is nothing too special, being from Blogger.com, but it's background is neutral and the "antique-page" look is archaic and interesting. Navigation is a total breeze, having organized and provided links to his other posts according to date, popularity, and keywords. The author even displays closely related blogs for readers to explore. Being a more general blog, there is no blatant bias in most of the posts. The writer equally represents both sides and adds in links to outside sources or earlier articles from the site.

Next up, Adam Smith's Lost Legacy (Educators). The content of this blog is much more narrow and focused around educating the public regarding the history and application of certain economic principals [probably meant for teachers to then re-iterate to their classes]. Though I did not venture too far back into the blog's history, the author (Gavin Kennedy) has been focused around the concept of the "Invisible Hand". His articles give a thorough amount of historical data as well as modern commentary. The blog's appearance is bland and boring, using the simple, default Blogger.com template. Nothing special there, though some of the article titles are witty. Navigation is what you would expect, with links to posts from past months, but it has nowhere near the capabilities of the previous blog. Because of its subject matter, there is little room for bias since it is simply explaining what an economic principle is and where it originates from.

Bankruptcy Beat:
This blog is a subsection of The Wall Street Journal Online; therefore a certain standard of “performance” is to be expected. The site reads as an online newspaper, and its clean interface allows for simple navigation, with headlines that capture the viewer’s attention. As the name states, many of the articles discuss an inside look at companies in trouble, specifically companies such as Kodak, Bank of America, Borders. This site relies more on the facts, rather than making some kind of biased opinion.


Seeking Alpha:
In comparison to the aforementioned blog site, Seeking Alpha is a cluttered, “cheap-looking” site. The headlines do not grab attention in contrast to the Wall Street Journal site. However, this site offers more facts and data based content, with a chart listing the top four markets placed conveniently on the home page. Additionally, there is a section of the homepage marked as “Market Currents”, which gives a time stamped snapshot of world market situations. As stated with the former, the site delves more in the facts, as opposed to forming and persuading some sort of agenda.

1. Planet money
This blog covers a wide variety of topics that range from the struggling economies of overseas countries to political crisis' here in the US. The range of topics should trigger interest from a diverse audience and make them want to study the topic further. The layout is very upscale for a blog, since it includes a variety of pictures and graphs. Navigation is simple since you scroll down to see previous blog posts, with the most recent ones being at the top. Bias can also be seen through some of the titles used for blog posts and statements used in the actual post.

2. Bailout Sleuth
This blog focuses on the many bailouts and struggles of various companies around the world. The main bailouts focused on is small banks failing around America and how it affects our economy. The appearance is kind of dull compared to other blogs since there is not a wide range of colors or pictures. Navigation is simple, however, with blogs descending from most recent to least. Like in most blogs, bias also exists and can be seen how the blogger ridicules some of the bailouts and banks for not operating properly.

1. The Economics Roundtable
This blog contains many graphs and articles on different topics. The blog is somewhat easy to navigate because the blogs are sorted by date posted, but it would be easier if the posts could be sorted by topic. A lot of the posts are very short, and provide links for further information. There doesn't seem to be much bias, just general information which the blogger thinks is important.

2. The Big Picture
This blog is very organized by the level of reading, and the types of media (video, pictures, etc) included in the blog. It looks like a creditable site and is easy to navigate. The blog contains many comics. The blogger seems to like that economics problems are caused more by everyday people than presidential action.

Connie Tan said...

10Q Detective: This blog is mainly about how investors often overlook sec filings, and how, while looking through businesses' 8-k and 10-q sec filings, looking for financial statement 'soft spots,' depreciation policies, warranty reserves and restructuring charges, turing charges, etc. that may materially impact quality of earnings. The appearance is relatively simple, making the blog easy to navigate because of its online newspaper like layout. There is an apparent bias automatically because it is an opinionated blog written by one person.
Oikos: This is an Australian environmental policy blog that focusses on the connections between the environment and the economy. The appearance is a set up by date, with the most recent posts at the top, making the navigation slightly difficult if one wanted to view older posts. There is apparent bias in that David Jeffrey, the blogger, makes inferences on the connections between the environment and the economy, and he also simply takes news articles and comments and states his opinion on them.

I will Teach you to be Rich (business):
The main idea of this blog is to give information on how to live a rich life. Saving money, earning money, how to get rid of credit cards fees and more all contribute in the steps to having a more successful life. The navigation of the website is incredibly easy. It even provides bold words to emphasis the more important ideas. The appearance is plain and simple. Also, the website contains some green color to go with the idea of money! It even provided a video for someone who might not feel like reading. Because the blogger explains general information on how to become rich this website does not seem to appear bias.

Environmental Economics (sustainability):
The bloggers Tim Haab and John Whitehead talk about agriculture, religion, films, but most importantly the environment. The appearance of the website can do a better job captivating the readers. It is similar to a facebook page where in the middle it shows the most recent posts. The navigation use is not hard but there are many other links to click on. This blog appears to be bias because it is a matter of there opinion on what they think on a subject.

1st:Footnoted
The content that I read about is based upon the salary of Steve Madden, the famous designer shoe company, and how his salary has been raised due to an annual agreement that describes that he will be receiving an estimated 2 million raise every year excluding bonuses and "gifts" from his superiors. The appearance of the blog posts both a picture and when referring to companies, has them in a bold font. The navigation to the website took me straight to the most recent blog updated and there are no side notes that would otherwise indicate a bias from the blogger, and this person only speaks facts and does not give that much of their own opinion.

2nd:
Dr.Housing Bubble
The content found in this blog talked about the property values of different homes in Southern California. In this blog, the writer talked about three different houses that had relatively small pricing when first put on the market and then skyrocketing to heights because of a refinance or upgrade. One of the houses began at a starting price of 720,000 and then increased to 1,149,900. The appearance of the blog is okay, but it could use improvement. The ease of navigation was simple and the link took me directly to the site and article. It lists the most recent blogs at the top and the bias of the author is found throughout the blog as this person gives their opinions about the high priced houses and the economic struggle to purchase a house.

Jiaqi Zhang said...

1. China Economics Blog
This blog is mainly about news and academic analysis of important issues of China's economy. The appearance is orderly and neat. The navigation is very easy as different articles are separate. Bias is evidently present against China in this blog because a lot of articles' viewpoints are negative.

2.HEALTH ECONOMICS BLOG
This blog is mainly about trends, politics, opinions about biotechnology and pharmaceutical company. The appearance is very organized and each of them is separated clearly. The navigation is very easy as well because the link is clearly shown. There is a bias in favor of the people who are trying to buy medicines and it also has author's own opinions.

Lauren Philpott (7th) said...

Overcoming Bias (General)
The context of this blog is as described by its title. The author writes about common social biases and he either argues them or labels them as futile from his own opinions. The author of this blog provides his readers with examples of social bias and he points out that many people will do what isn't considered 'strange' by social standards, even if their opportunity cost was a million dollars. The main appearance and set up of this blog seems very train of thought while at the same time being methodical. The author masterfully pieces together real life situations and facts into eye opening posts about our society today. The author's bias within his blog is that people need to overcome their bias nature (in the title) he emphasizes that people 'go with the flow' even if they think it's wrong just because they don't want to stand out, and he believes that people shouldn't have to do that to feel comfortable about themselves.

Businomics (Business)
In contradiction to the blog above, which focuses on a very specific subject, this blog generalizes all ideas within economics to give its readers a better understanding of economics itself. By using videos, graphs, comics and long-winded articles this blog covers starting and maintaining a personal business, to the effects of the timber industry over the years. This blog covers foreign economy and provides its readers on the plans of countries like Korea and Japan, who are both planning new economies in the coming years. The basic appearance of this blog is a bit sporadic with its information but organized in the way it is presented. The author's bias seems to be against ignorance. There is no pronounced bias within his blog, but there is a ton of information about everything, therefore the author just wants his readers to know as much about their world as they can.

The Conscience of a Liberal
In this blog, Paul Krugman discusses economics and politics. He, for a good portion of the blog, discusses news about the republican candidate, Mitt Romney, and then he talks about the instabilities about our economy and the nature of foreign economies. The appearance of the blog is in a newspaper journal format and has multiple, different newspaper articles. The navigation is pretty simplified; the articles are all showcased so there would be no trouble looking for different articles. The bias of the article is that our economic status is steadily declining, and our conservative ideologies are antagonistic.

Naked Capitalism (hehehe)
This blog features multiple other blogs that describe economic situations and problems of different countries. The appearance of the blog site is in the format of a blog site and also some blogs include pictures which tie to the blog in a way of symbolism. The page seems fairly easy to navigate since all the blogs are there for you to see. The bias, I believe, is that many aspects of economies are suffering because wrong doings by the government and the investors.

1) Dollars & Sense: The blog has a blot of visuals which helps. There is one continuos man in different pictures pepper-spraying people in pictures in the face which makes you want to read into the story behind it and what it means. There is a lot of dislike of police and the amount of force that they use against protestors. The blog is very bias in what it likes about the eviction of "#OccupyBoston". Most of the events that they talk about are in the area of Boston. There are also videos of Gar Alperovitz and the launch of his book about America being beyond capitalism. The blog is easy to go through yet everything doesn't flow all the way. And there are references to things in past blogs so you have to go look in order to know what is being talked about. It is a very informative blog if you live in that area but I don't believe it is too much help for people in other areas. I do see a little more to do with economics in this blog than in "MV=PQ" but still not too much to do with anything globally.

2.MV=PQ: The blog site looks nice and organized. I like the fact that it have books that are suggested. It is a way to give people information about outside sources and not just the bias opinion of the writer. The blogs though are very short. They are not bias because they are only links to information for others to read and form their own opinion. Yet it is also personal because he talks about his family and his students though he doesn't go into detail about anything. There are comic strips and random videos that have some meaning but at the same time fun because it is a different way of seeing things and there is a deeper message. Though I like the idea and the set up I don't see any true depth into economics but it is interesting to a certain point.

1) Economix
This blog contains news about the current economic issues that we are facing. It shows the news in a summarized form which the readers can click on the title that they are interested in to be able to read the extra detail it posses. Navigating in this blog is quite easy. Bias can be seen through the comments of the readers which ables the other readers to read their comment.

2)Dealbreaker
This website contains different news about the international economy and people outside the United States are able to leave their comments about the news. Its organization of information and advertisements makes it look more neat and easier to read. Also it makes the navigation on the website much simple. The biases can be seen from the different comments that people write about the news.

Jessica Sheely said...

Jeff Matthews Is Not Making This Up- This blog is very witty and satirical, and the most recent posts mock Eddie Lampert of Sears and his failures. The webpage is simplistic and lacks high-tech design, and consists of one page in which you scroll down for ages. Looking at archived articles is difficult and hard to find. This blog seems to poke fun of failing companies and the mistakes the leaders made. While the content of this blog is amusing and informative, the page itself lacks in appearance and needs a facelift and a web designer.

Calculated Risk- This blog presents the important facts to readers, while displaying information in easily analyzed charts. The webpage is basic and easy to read, and old articles are easily found. The ads do get in the way, but overall the blog looks very much like a finance forum. The author seems to be very factual and concise. Overall, this blog highlights the facts from our ever changing economy.

1: real time economics
This website contains the latest economic news. It is very organized and easy to search. It is very informative and up to date with current events. The article on the site is more on facts.

2:Global Economy Matters
This blog content include different countries economy watch, and the blog divide different continents, so is much easier to search different regions. The appearance is simple and plain. The navigation is very straight forward. The bias is just general information which the blogger thinks.

1. Megan McArdle (Business)
This blog is concerned with what the author feels is important in government regulations and what is happening currently with day-to-day updates. While discussing politicians and problems that she sees, the bias is very apparent to the reader. All cited material supports only her side of the story and any comments with different opinions are either ignored or scorned. The blogs are written like an online newspaper article, probably due to the fact that she is the editor of The Atlantic. However, the only ease of navigation is scrolling down through the various blogs, most of the article titles are vague, and there is no way to navigate to a certain topic of interest.

2. Knowledge Problem (Education)
This blog gives concise opinions of controversial regulations; the most current blogs mainly focus on gas, coal, and other vital natural resources. The blog clearly states that it is opinionated, and for me that creates a more truthful source of information. The author cites many sources of various addresses of politicians, including past presidents. Although there is bias, the author allows for the reader to understand both sides of the situation being discussed. The content of the blog is organized from most recent blog, to older ones. The reason I care for this one more is because on the side of the page there are many options of how the readers want to navigate the page. The reader may type in a key word or click on a general subject, in which many articles will be listed.

Financial Armageddon:
This blog was interesting to read because it covered a wide range of topics from a number of different people. The topics ranged from financial downfalls, to common misbeliefs about economics, to reasons for obesity. The blog that interested me the most talked about the financial crisis all over the world. The economies of many countries in Europe have either collapsed or on the verge of it which would not benefit our economy at all. Becausethe blogs were from many different people I did not notice a particular bias throughtout the website, but the majority of them had a pessimistic outlook on the world. There was not much navigating to do since it was only one page.

Winter and Economic Market:
I really enojoyed this blog a lot more because it contained full atricles about the particular topics. Though there were many articles the ones that were my favorites were about the Occupy movement and China's economy. The Occupy Movement atricle described how police are taking a counter strike against the movement and it seems to be getting out of hand. The blog about China showed the staistics of how the production in that country is continuing to decrease. This blog was very easy to navigate and provided captioins and links the the full length articles.

Crossing Wall Street (Market)
This blog provides news and analysis on the happenings of Wall Street. It is written by Eddy Elfenbein, a CNN money partner, in order to help investors make good decisions and turn profits. In the sites description, Elfenbein contends that he provides a free unbiased view of the market, that will help his readers have success investing. The actual posts on the site are either Crossing Wall Street (CWS) Market Reviews, in which Elfenbein provides analysis of the strength or weakness of the market, or specific news stories that provide Elfenbein’s idea of a depiction of the market. The site has an attractive and easygoing appearance, while maintaining a very businesslike feel. At the top of the site, there is a cartoon sketch of a happy Wall Street investor walking past a Wall Street street sign that gives the site a very friendly feel, and helps to ease away any fears that any readers may have. Additionally, the site is very accessible and easy to use, as the links and posts are easily seen. The only possible bias of this site comes from there only being one writer and editor. However, Mr. Elfenbein seems to be very fair and partial in his writing, so there does not appear to be any significant bias.

Marginal Revolution (Hard Times)
This blog provides analysis of problems with the United States economy in these tough economic times, and offers simple steps towards finding our way out of the current economic struggle. Despite the positive suggestions that the site offers at the end of each post, the overall tone of the writing seems to portray an aura of dreary and dismal times for some time to come, which takes away from the sites content. The organization of the posts on the site appears nice, but the advertisements on the outsides of the webpage take away significantly from the overall appearance. However, the site is easily accessible and it is connected to many social networking sites easily. The ability to tweet about a post or to like a post on face book makes the page very easy to use and very accessible to young people. The negative tone that I mentioned earlier explains the bias of this site very well. There is an idea portrayed by this site that things are just going to be miserable for anyone who knows any better for a while, so just live with it.

Chris Joseph said...

The Epicurean Dealmaker:
This blog is written by a financial advisor who is talking about the procedures gone through when auctioning off a company. He specifically talks about Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and the company Bain Capital and how they conducted business when buying a company. The appearance is very orderly and easy to read. The posts are clearly marked and the pictures are nice. It is very easy to navigate and understand. The writer is very biased and gives his opinion on a lot of what he or she is talking about.

Block's Indicator of Sustainable Growth:
In this blog by Ray Block, Block's posts are about how different countries use energy and how some are taking certain steps to promote efficiency and cleaner energy production and use. The appearance is somewhat dark, but nevertheless is still fairly easy to read. It is very easy to see the different posts and to navigate to the different links the blog provides. The blog's bias is mainly how Block believes that different countries have different solutions to more economically and environmentally responsible methods.

Capital Gains and Games

This blog contains information about current economic issues our country is facing. Campaign budgets and ways to decrease our nation's deficit are hot topics in this blog. Stan Collender disapproves with the tactics in place, or not in place as he would state, to bring our country out of debt. His only bias seems to be towards our government as a whole. Collender claims to discuss what makes "political sense, what makes economic sense," however much of the problems "rarely ... just makes sense." The blog was easy to navigate, in chronological order, and was very attractive with images, short interesting entries, and minimal advertising.

Ecological Economics

This blog is about how governments around the world are changing the environment, and the affect these policies have on country's economies. One entry talks about the price of making an object compared to the sells price, while one entry talks about Germany's plans to be an energy independent nation by 2050, while another entry talks about how the environment is one big economic fight between experts. Many of the blogs have images and videos to enhance the message, making the website very attractive. The bias in this blog is simply that the author believes nations should help their economies by helping the environment.

This blog is very informative and provides many different viewpoints of the topic. The appearance of the blog is easy to follow starting with the lead essay with the follow essay's underneath, each with a summary of the author's argument. The navigation is simple, there are links to each essay followed by a summary. The bias appear in the title as well as the summary of each author's opinion of the topic.

This blog has many different subjects posted by the same author about topics of today. The appearance is organized with the latest posts on top to earlier ones at the bottom. The navigation is simple, every post has a time, date, and year. The bias are slipped into the posts very subtly in the humor of the post.

1. VOX
This blog is something of a conglomeration of well-researched economic opinions and happenings. It is an interactive site that displays researched articles and allows online debates on topics such as why we need a financial sector and how much we should pay for it. The site is not flashy or confusing; there are simply categories of text. A box in the upper left hand corner contains frequently asked questions, which help to make the site very navigable. Overall, there is no central focus, but a general bias exists throughout the page. A general skepticism of governmental agencies and politicians affects many of the articles shown on this site. Many pieces hint at, or blatantly state, the utterly incorrect way in which governments handle economic problems and the way politicians play into the hands of bankers. Additionally, the site has a tendency to glorify economics through out-there articles on things like understanding the effect of religion on suicide through economic modeling.

2. Mish's Global Economic Trend Analysis
This blog is the brainchild of Mike Shedlock, a registered investment advisor. Unlike the last sight, this one has advertisements, and is more clearly organized. At the top there is a bar which dictates how to navigate the site affectively. On the left side column there is a list of recent posts (as well as recommended books and links to recommended sites), on the upper right corner there is information on the author, and the center there is the full text of recent posts. Each post deals with major economic happenings all over the world, such as the Japanese prime minister considering doubling the national sales tax and the efforts of Slovenia to avoid another recession. The whole site, is in itself a sales pitch. The idea is to show a solid grip on the economic situation worldwide through intricacy as well as variety. The author's place of work (Sitka Pacific, a company that offers investment consultation) is clearly stated and expanded on in this site. The natural assumption from this is that perhaps this site is used to further the Sitka Pacific goals, whatever they may be. The blatant bias, however, is a general disdain for expanded governmental control over the economy. This bias is seen in the way the site decries things such as high taxes and price controls.

A little late, but still.

Visualizing Economics (General) - A web site dedicated to publishing infographics about economic data. When one clicks on the website, he or she instantly sees charts and graphs of all kinds. Since each topic is separated, it is simple to view a representative visual that displays a collection of data over a specific subject. There does not appear to be a bias since the charts are mere publications of a set of data, rather than opinions.

The Atlantic Business (Business) -This magazine website focuses on foreign affair politics and how it affects the economy. The blog throws a wide array of headlines all about the page that catch the reader's attention. It is quite easy to navigate the page to get the popular information one may want and even has a searchbox for those looking for more specific topics. There appears to be moderate and conservative bias in the articles.

Curious Cat Investing:

This blog's content had to do with investing in the market, predicted outcomes, and general stories on economics for 2012. Although it seemed to require some basic understanding of economics to comprehend all the information, it did a fair job of explaining some concepts and terms. The appearance of this blog is very intimidating at first. The blogs are long and filled with information in the form of texts, graphs, charts, and (on one) video. But, you will find as you explore the site that there is an ease of navigation. They provide lists of links dividing the blogs on the left side of the page including "categories", "tags", and "recently posted". These make it easy for a reader to find a blog on a certain subject. Each blog is also clearly separated with big green headings. There was no apparent bias to me, but author's opinions were included, but often backed by facts.

Econbrowser:

The content of Econbrowser is about current events related to economic issues. It analyzes a lot of economic policies and such both here and in other countries. I liked the appearance because it was very simple, straightforward, and easy to follow and browse through. A basic background, colored side columns, and a simple organizational list of blogs made it easy to use. The ease of navigation was good but not great. While they did divide the blogs into archives by date and a few topics, I still felt that it could have been made easier for users to search and find blogs they wanted. Again, authors include their opinions a lot, even though they back it with facts. This influences the conclusions made by the reader as well.

1) EconLog: This blog states that the characteristics of a person make more of a merchant than his business experience and school earing. The blog appears very orderly and is easy to navigate to. The bias is the author’s opinion on what makes a person into a merchant.

2) The Big Do-Over: This blog is defending a congressman named Goldman who is being made look bad by Lloyd Blankfein. He states that the media is not using accurate claims and just going off what Blankfein said. The blog appears to be in order and the navigation to this blog is fairly easy. The author’s opinion is that Goldman is not being treated fairly by the media and Blankfein.

Dealbreaker is like a news website but mainly related to business and finance. It has up to date information on the related topics. The navigation is easy with popular articles shown in the front page. there do not seem to be any bias because there are statics shown in teh news reports
2. Vox
Vox has a collection of articles written by leading economists and people of higher intellect when in concerns the economy. There is even an option to join in debate regarding issues that are posted. The page is easy to navigate with the names of people on the left side bar that has articles. There doesn't seem to be any bias because it is a collection of articles written by people of various opinions and the fact that there can also be a debate eliminates bias in my opinion.

1: A Fistful of Euros
This blog contains in depth topic about economics and as well break down the complex subject it may contain. It has a wide variety of selections and the writer also has a sense of humor as you can tell from his recent blogs. The appearance is pretty dull and a bit unorganized. Although, the navigation is the complete opposite, with archive, the navigation comes with ease. The blogger simply states his position on the topic and attempts to persuade the reader by providing details and facts.

2: Fly Bottle
This blog has a wide range of content. From articles to videos, from images to her personal life. The appearance is captivating and extremely organized. Navigation is simply with the help of archives. The blogger strongly sticks to her position and provides facts, details, and opinions.
