RIP Doris “Tanta” Dungey
A few days ago, one of the best financial bloggers passed away: Doris Dungey, better known by her nom de guerre “Tanta”.
Take a moment to visit this post at Calculated Risk.
One of the greatest contributions of Tanta to the financial blogosphere can be found here, at her list of Compleat UberNerd posts, these made the esoteric world of mortgages and mortgage backed securities understandable for everyone – as the financial system started to unravel.
And personally, I always liked her posts where she pointed out the flaws in Gretchen Morgenson’s reporting at the New York Times. It’s a great service to everyone when a journalist is kept on their toes, so that we can make sure the truth is being properly disseminated to the public.
