Happy new year. The fiscal cliff continues to dominate financial news and industry blogs. The consensus is that the going off the cliff (a) has been averted and (b) only for a short time. So it’ll continue to be news.

This week’s posts (5!) are a great examples for providing helpful materials as advisors reach out to clients to discuss 2013 and beyond.

  • BlackRock – All signs point to exchange-traded products continuing to be top of mind with investors. This post provides  a succinct set of trends.
  • BlackRock (2) – This post provides five investment ideas for 2013. Agree or not, it’s really easy to use as a conversation starter.
  • Oppenheimer – This post is on the longer side, but makes a compelling case for equities.
  • Pioneer – The single, most interesting post related to the fiscal cliff.
  • Wells Fargo – Nothing’s better than well-organized bullets. This post has them.

Congratulations! You made it to the end of the political season.

Three posts this week, two regarding the fiscal cliff.

  1.  BlackRock – Nice infographic on the fiscal cliff (ending with a product sell).
  2. Pioneer – This is the single best fiscal cliff blog post. Nothing to say except: READ.
  3. Russell – Fantastic idea – look at World Series results to predict the S&P.

As no surprise, we’ll see many more political blog posts throughout October. We’ll share them sparingly and this week there are none!

  • BlackRock – This post addresses a hot question: do advisors really use social media?
  • MFS – This post answers the important question: why are all these really massive companies holding so much cash on their balance sheets?
  • Pioneer – This short post recaps quickly survey data all over the Internet and with a thundering parenthetical at the end.
  • Russell – This post discusses a topic rarely covered: the investor with 2 or more FAs.
