Calculated Risk is a leading finance and economics blog written by former technology executive, Bill McBride. As one of the most prolific and educational sources of housing data and analysis online, the blog has been ahead of the curve in its discussion of banks' lending practices, the housing bubble, and the impending economic collapse. Since 2005, Calculated Risk has established a reputation as an objective source of commentary on an increasingly politicized topic. The blog’s analysis has proven increasingly spot on, gaining the attention of notable economists. Today, Calculated Risk has become a go-to source for Wall Street, the media, academics, and anyone else looking for authoritative analysis of housing and the broader economy.

Alen Mattich, WSJ: The Best Economics Blogs

"By far the broadest, deepest, and smartest coverage of the subprime crisis and housing meltdown."

Felix Salmon, Conde Nast
