Three interesting posts over the final two weeks of August.

  • AllianceBernstein – Enjoyable and straightforward opinion (with supporting data) on the US equity markets.
  • Columbia – Strangely surprising that only this firm wrote a piece about Detroit, one year after bankruptcy.
  • MFS – nice post on the linkage between actual private-sector investing and the broad economy

Three posts this week, including a first-timer (second week in  row).

  • JPMorgan – Clear delineation between unconstrained and absolute return
  • Oppenheimer – The Kinder Morgan transaction showed up 3 times in the blog we track. This was the clearest relationship between transaction and funds’ future.
  • Weitz – I can only imagine how many calls were placed this spring; from investors to their FAs asking about high-frequency trading. This post describes HFT well.

Actually two weeks (apologies). 3 helpful posts, albeit 2 are somewhat self-serving.

  • BlackRock – Good framework for building a core portfolio (surprisingly in ETFs). This blog exemplifies helpful content for some FAs to share with their clients.
  • Principal – Nice counter to the current conventional wisdom that small cap stocks (A hearty welcome for Principal to the Best Blogs.)
  • Vanguard –Helpful post on why fixed income managers are overweight in corporate bonds with related commentary.
