John Hussman: Really Mean Reversion by Robert Huebscher How One Advisor's Website Lands a New Client a Week Last week an advisor responded to my recent article on building your reputation, The Surprising Number One Driver of New Clients, in which I outlined five strategies for building credibility. In that email and a subsequent conversation, this advisor described how last year his RIA attracted 58 new clients from its website. How One Advisor's Website Lands a New Client a Week by Dan Richards Tempest in a Teapot: Michael Lewis' Flash Boys Solves a Problem that is Barely There Michael Lewis is the finest writer in a generation to turn his attention to the practice of finance, but in Flash Boys: A Wall Street Revolt - his account of high-frequency trading and of a likeable trader who found a way to beat it - he is a few steps off base.
