Mixing politics and financial advice is a dangerous cocktail

Episode 10

We look at how the Twitter dustup between two advisers over politics should send a message to the financial services community that it doesn’t pay to let your political colors show on social media. Also, Covid has had a negative impact on broker recruiting. Then we get into the trend toward reducing bond allocations from otherwise balanced portfolios. And Bruce Kelly dishes up another example of a bad broker. Finally, in the Open Notebook segment, we delve into whether New York can continue to be the center of the universe, as far as New Yorkers are concerned.
