The carnivals are up again! Canadian Capitalist hosts the Carnival of Personal Finance. I recommend Old Niu's post about investing in spin off transactions. The funny thing is, I was planning to write a post on that tonight! Old Niu, thanks for saving me some time (and organizing my thoughts so coherently .)

PFAdvice hosts the Carnival of Investing. Check out Stocks for Me's discussion about Home Depot and Lowes. As a decade-long HD shareholder, I too think HD is worth a look.

FreeMoneyFinance hosts the Carnival of the Capitalists. I haven't delved too deeply into the posts, but I enjoyed Roth & Company's Kidney Swaps: Not a 1031 Exchange.

Simply Thrifty will be hosting the Festival of Frugality.
