Why Economist Ed Yardeni Is A Mensch; Plus, Good News For Fritz Fans, As Our Intrepid Guru Gets A 4.8 Rating Again From A4A Members

he is a national treasure, as Andy said. We appreciate the incisive nature of Fritz' presentations and his willingness to fight the status quo of Wall Street predictions and promises. Thank you. P.S. Comment on the 2-hour sessions. Since this is a major commitment of time, perhaps a "hard close" after 100 minutes would be more palatable to attendees, particularly those of us on the East Coast as it is now 6:14 p.m. as I write this review. Thanks.

 

  • I had to shut it down one hour and 34 minutes into the presentation.  Glad I am not on the east coast. Participating in the monthly webinar becomes repetitive. As I was listening to Fritz today I was thinking he could present ongoing updates to items Fritz fields are important and separate that from new ideas that would be relevant to advisors. he may have a little more structure in the presentation. If the audience is mainly investment advisors I would recommend more information pertaining to investments

  • Always love Fritz's presentation

  • Time Time Time.

  • Drinking from a firehose

  • Excellent presentation!

  • Great idea to have 2 hour session each quarter.  Fritz wonderful as usual.

  • The last segment on active style advice and performance is old news.  Need to change subject and instead focus on new investment themes or rebalancing adjustments made for the quarter.

  • Good, but started late and went over time.

  • Very helpful to have the longer time period to cover the extra material.

  • In the future, the 2 hours is great.  Maybe 75 minutes of content and 25 minutes for Q&A.  Lots of great material as always.

  • Great!!! 

  • Really like to feel positive again, and Fritz is providing the info for me to change my sentiment.  Thank you Fritz and Andy.

  • Excellent. 

  • I really liked the 2 hour session. 

  • I don't always have 2 hours but I was able to do it and it was great!

  • Another effective presentation with the data points to counter the conventional wisdom or the main media opinions that many clients are influenced by to the point of evaluating the value of the counsel and direction that are provided.

  • Always Good!

  • Great!!!

  • Excellent because he keeps moving and covers a lot of ground rather than pushing one or two thoughts.

  • Super!

  • Too long but great info.  Don't do this on a Fri

  • This was one of his best...he is a real value to A4A!

    It is not possible for me to overstate the cumulative value that Craig, Bob and Fritz have added for over 10 years to my investment advisory practice, as well as for personal and family financial planning. A4A gets my highest recommendation
    Lynn Najman, CFP®
    I’ve subscribed to A4A since its inception, and always find it intellectually stimulating and on point. It’s one of the few CE solutions out there that doesn’t waste my time by pushing product or talking down to me.

    A4A has had a profound effect on my business. Since 2009, I’ve relied on the consistent messaging and updates to run my business successfully. Being able to present the information from Bob, Fritz, and Craig's ongoing CE webinars has been a significant benefit.

    I've been a financial professional and professor of finance for 35 years and find Fritz Meyer and Robert Keebler to be among the most engaging, incredibly knowledgeable, and experienced presenters I’ve encountered. They deliver an extraordinary amount of information in an extremely interesting way — sequentially and developmentally, utilizing pedagogical tools and techniques that few possess.  A4A to is the most consistently excellent CE program available.  
    Ron Roge, MS, CFP®
    I’ve been attending A4A many years because the CE classes are outstanding, and my time is valuable. Though I have over 35 years of experience, I’m always learning something new on A4A. I attend fewer conferences now because the CE is generally not advanced. If you want to learn from the best, in a faster, easier, and less expensive way, I highly recommend A4A.

    John R. Day, CPA/PFS®

    I’ve been a member since 2011 and never miss the monthly webinars with Fritz Meyer. I appreciate Fritz’s independent views on the economy and markets and Bob Keebler keeps me updated on excellent tax planning ideas. A4A is a great value!

    I wouldn't miss a Fritz Meyer webinar unless my pants were on fire. I've relied on Andrew Gluck's knowledge systems --client communications and CE -- for two decades. It's simply the best solution for tax, financial, investment, and risk-management professionals.®   

    Dan Hawley, CFP® 

    A4A, for over a decade, has been a great resource for useful and accurate information and CE. A4A and Advisor Products are bargains for an advisory practice.

    I get CPA CE credit and CFP credit for the webinars.  But not only that, the A4A content is terrific
