Best Blogs of the Week
on Aug 15, 2011
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.
- Vanguard – This post provides a bit of long-term perspective (as expected from Vanguard).
- Vanguard – The post re-introduces shortfall risk at just the right time to consider that before listening to media pundits panic.
- BlackRock – A nice post, easy FA-to-client sharing, that discusses the week’s volatility and some historical perspective.
- Wells Fargo – Single best title of the week is “No, this is not 2008 all over again.”
