Best Blogs of the Week
on Oct 11, 2011
Apologies for the one-day delay. The tremendous weekend weather (in New York) took precedence over this blog. Though we’re not tracking precisely, the volume of industry blogs is increasing. More firms are blogging and the firms with established blogs are increasing frequency. Both are encouraging. This week’s best include three different topics – all highly relevant for advisors fielding calls.
- BlackRock – This post shares a few fresh perspectives on gold. From previous research engagements, I know advisors sometimes get “benchmarked” against gold. While totally unfair, you can hear an investor saying “why don’t I just invest in gold?”
- Russell – This post provides a succinct job of heading off conversations that compare the US economy with Japan’s economy and aging population.
- Vanguard – This post provides a succinct job of comparing current economic situations in the US and China.
