MEDIA REVIEWS - February 24-28, 2010

As you'll see in a minute, I'm extremely skeptical of one of the contributed articles in this month's issue of the Journal of Financial Planning, the more so because the assumptions for its conclusions are never provided, the even more so because its conclusions are at odds with what I regard as common sense and most other analyses. But if you want to sell variable annuities, articles like this provide support and cover.

Meanwhile, there's an excellent article on incorporating a psychologist into your client interactions, and a pretty interesting study of an investment strategy that would require a LOT more study before you should attempt it on behalf of clients. See for yourself.
