Featured on Time Magazine's website (and right now, the fourth most popular story there) is a must-read article titled "Bad Times for Banks Mean Boom Times for Credit Unions." Recognize the name below?

Business is booming for Ed Speed, which is a little odd, considering he lends money for a living.

My favorite part of the article:

Members-only nonprofit credit unions are having their turn in the sun as years of sticking to boring, old-fashioned banking practices — they typically hold the mortgages they make on their own books and only dabble in subprime — put them in a position to grab market share while national banks, auto finance companies, credit-card outfits and private student-loan firms cut back on loans.
