Best Blogs of the Week

Best Blogs of the Week

What a week?  To me, it seems like more than 7 days ago when the global markets reacted to Standard & Poor’s downgrade.  With that historic event, there was significant blogging.  That fact is significant – asset managers are able to ramp up volume and timely blog posts related to market conditions.  Even 1 year ago, that probably was not possible.

I have four excellent posts this week, with Vanguard taking two spots.  All relate to the downgrade and subsequent market volatility.

  1. Vanguard – This post provides a bit of long-term perspective (as expected from Vanguard).
  2. Vanguard – The post re-introduces shortfall risk at just the right time to consider that before listening to media pundits panic.
  3. BlackRock – A nice post, easy FA-to-client sharing, that discusses the week’s volatility and some historical perspective.
  4. Wells Fargo – Single best title of the week is “No, this is not 2008 all over again.”
