Whether it be a wirehouse advisor going independent, an IAR transitioning to an RIA, or some other type of transition, creating the foundation for the new brand is vital to achieve future success.]]></description>

The right technology can often help an advisor run his or her business far more efficiently than one has ever thought possible. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Economics would tell us that, all things being equal, all things are equal. As long as there is a rational buyer and a rational seller, both working off the same information, then any free market will be a zero sum game. There are no big winners or losers, there is just an exchange of value for value, and an investor receives a calculable premium over a safe rate as he puts his capital at risk — the higher the risk, the higher the anticipated reward.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here’s the law: Fictitious Name Law — Doing Business As (DBA) Fictitious Business Name Statement (FBN). State law requires that every person, partnership, corporation, or other association, who transacts business under a Fictitious Business Name, file a statement. The statement must be published in a newspaper of general circulation. You know by now that you will also need these documents to open a bank account. (Or your corporate/LLC certificate if you incorporate.) You may as well obtain your federal tax ID number now too. Also, if you will have at least one employee, you need the state and federal employer tax number (EIN) to set-up your payroll system so you can pay the government weekly or in other intervals necessary.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Domestic equities closed down 14.5% on June 29, 2010 from their April 23rd high. That’s a significant decline. Of course, advisors tout sophisticated (and very expensive) asset allocation and diversification strategies, supposedly to protect their clients.  So, with this recent decline, all of these supposed diversifiers like foreign and emerging market stocks, real estate, corporate and high yield bonds (junk), foreign bonds, inflation protected bonds, commodities, etc. should all be protecting portfolios, correct?]]></description>
