Two posts this week that are clearly helpful.

  • American Century – This post presents relates the fiscal cliff to dividend paying stocks and a few clear next steps.
  • BlackRock – This post shares Russ’s critique of … Russ. The post is honest and helpful to remind FAs what was thought about and discuss one year ago.

Hopefully everyone in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast is surviving with the proper rations and safety precautions. This week’s best blogs cover varying topics, with one politically-charged post.

  • AllianceBernstein – This post makes the case against high-dividend. The post made me think of this image.
  • AllianceBernstein – Well, does the US election matter?
  • American Century – This post discusses the impact on household formation on housing recovery (and the broader economic recovery).
  • Wells Fargo – I  appreciate one specific question in this interview: Does an aging population favor bonds?

As the fourth quarter begins, we see the blogging tempo increase at many firms. As a reader, it’s exciting to see so many posts on so many topics. We chose three very different posts as this week’s best.

  • American Century – This post recaps last September in bullets. It’s not the most scintillating or original, but the post is effective to help FAs digest the September rally.
  • Columbia – This post covers REITS and references the asset classes performance in 2012 (to-date). The author does a nice job providing three factors to consider if  an FA’s clients are invested in REITS.
  • Franklin Templeton -I have an affinity for articles and books that discuss bias. This post covers availability bias nicely. Worth a read.

We found a dearth of exciting blogs last week; only two to recommend. However, we did find an unusual occurrence – the same topic by two firms, just a day apart. Here’s Columbia introducing alternative investing and a day later, American Century offers a primer on alternative investing.

  • Columbia – More interesting then priming, this post on incorporating alternatives offers a few easy-to-use tips and link to a longer article.
  • Pioneer – This post on reasons why the economy is improving differs from so many because it’s direct, scannable, and ends with a recommendation.
