Best Blogs of the Week
on Aug 22, 2011
These three posts do an excellent job describing relevant situations and issues, post-Debt crisis (has anyone given the August 1st situation a good “-gate” name?).
- Russell – This post is humorous and depressing. The author provides tangible examples of how US debt’s largesse.
- Russell – My favorite post of the week (a combination of Excel simulations and good graphics results in information I enjoy), the author provides a clear analysis of high expected risk versus low expected risk. This analysis arms an FA with straight-forward statistical analysis.
- BlackRock – This post relates changes in gold prices to valuations in (gold) mining and consuming countries. Simple enough; but I hadn’t considered this much and can imagine the value in this line of thinking for a FA discussing geographic diversification and explicit risks.
