New economic website breaks the mold by offering sensible, moderate advice!

Posted by John Smith on August 17th, 2016

DALLAS- Economics has often been called “the dismal science” for successfully predicting eleven of the last four recessions. It’s true that much of what you find on the internet tends toward extremes. Either things are going to be great forever, or there is no hope anywhere in the world.

Aiming to buck this trend, Stewart Fields, a Dallas-based financial advisor, has started a new website: stewnomics.com. “I took a look around the web and saw a whole lot of hype and a whole lot of emotional reaction,“ said Fields. “I want to let people know there’s still a rational middle ground in the world of economics.”

Fields comes to economics and finance by way of an interest in psychology. He uses the latest in forecasting and analytic tools, but also brings to bear the study of human decision-making. All of these skills are on display on the website, which offers cultural commentary and reactions to financial events from Fields’ unique perspective.

The website is a natural outgrowth of Fields’ work as a Business Finance analyst. Since he spends most of his time thinking about and planning for changes in markets, writing about them is a way to get those ideas on paper. “It started as a hobby, honestly. I’d show these little snippets around and people would say ‘That looks great. You should start a blog.’ I started tinkering with WordPress, and, before I knew it, I had a website up!”

The site updates between 2 and 3 times a week, depending on how fast the news cycle goes. “I don’t want to end up saying nothing just because I felt pressure to say something, so updates come when news happens,” Fields said. So far, the effort’s paid off. Every post is a surprisingly in-depth look at some contemporary news item, delivered in 500 words or less. If brevity is the soul of wit, stewnomics.com is the wittiest site on the internet.

When he’s not laying complex economic trends down in comprehensible language, Fields maintains an active financial advising and Financial Magazines service. If you’re interested in reading more, check out stewnomics.com.
