Odds and Ends

Busy on a few projects this morning, but here are some links of note:

My friend Tadas did a nice thing about the financial blogosphere that’s worth a read. He believes we’re in the process of maturing and a lot of blogs had to be weeded out for that to take place.

If you’re in New York City early December, catch me at Bloomberg’s half-day ETF conference hosted at the Mother Ship. Great lineup, includes Michael Bloomberg (former 3-time mayor of NYC), Kevin O’Leary (Shark Tank), Jack Bogle (founder of Vanguard) and me (followed the Beastie Boys on tour, Summer 1994). Should be a great session.

This January I’m doing a talk at the Inside ETFs show in Hollywood, Florida. Literally everyone is going to be there. It’s from January 24th-27th at the Diplomat Hotel. Will be mixing business with business and trying to see both clients and prospective clients in the area that week. Contact us to set up a meeting if you think we can possibly help you with your portfolio and financial planning.
