So are we done with the fiscal cliff? Not totally it seems. But we can expect next week’s news to fill up with debt ceiling discussions. Joy! This week, four interesting posts that are easy to relate with and easy to share with clients.

  • BlackRock – This post provides three upcoming dates related to the fiscal cliff. Probably good for an FA to jot down.
  • Columbia – This post provides an actual stance on expected 2013 US GDP growth and implications from that growth.
  • MFS – Nice anecdote about real estate in London and the personal capital flight from around the world.
  • Russell – My favorite post; the first table shows the folly of prediction.

The topic du jour (and probably everyday until it’s fixed) is the fiscal cliff. This week’s posts include two on the popular topic.

  • Franklin Templeton – This post gets to the heart of the matter: fixing the debt. It’s an instructive and quick read, immediately useful for FAs in their client conversations and prospect meetings.
  • Russell – A great combo-pie charts in this post. The post discusses potential 2013 government spending/revenue changes with some basic background information.

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.
