  • This is the Indicator from Planet Money, I'm Darian Woods.

  • And I'm Waylon Wong.

  • Darian, how many browser tabs do you have open right now?

  • Very personal question, but I have 15 open.

  • You have 15?

  • That's more than me.

  • I'm under 10 today.

  • Should I feel bad?

  • No.

  • That seems like a very reasonable number of tabs to me.

  • I feel like these days, every new headline has me running to open a new tab because there is so much to keep up with.

  • I'm reading like you are about trade deficits, the bond market, value added taxes.

  • And when I'm doing this research, I often find myself on Investopedia.

  • It's a website with around 40,000 articles on economics and finance topics.

  • It's a really comprehensive website, takes the academic terms and distills it in this way that is super accessible.

  • The articles are constantly getting updated, amazing resource.

  • Caleb Silver is the editor-in-chief of Investopedia and he's a friend of the show.

  • What have the last few weeks been like for you?

  • Extremely busy.

  • We have had so many of our readers and people interested in learning or relearning how global trade works,
