Recent commentaries have highlighted articles from credible publications such as the Wall Street Journal that help advisors make the case with clients for a positive outlook on stocks. The best example of this is Warren Buffett's "Buy American - I am" article in the New York Times - possibly the most emailed article ever. Below are links to recent articles from Barron's and Fortune, making the case for mid term optimism about markets.

And if you want to see other articles, click on "Links to Useful Articles" in the upper right hand column under Client Commentaries - with links to articles from the New York Times (including Buffett's piece), the Wall Street Journal, Financial Times and the Report on Business.

The usual word of caution however: Before sending anything to clients, be sure to run it by your compliance department.
