Obama to use Lehman anniversary to cite economic progress, caution against shutdown or default
– canadianbusiness.com
WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama is marking the fifth anniversary of the Lehman Brothers collapse by trying to lay claim to an economic turnaround and warning Republicans against moves that he contends would risk a backslide.
His message to the GOP: don’t oppose raising the nation’s debt limit, don’t threaten to close down the government in a budget fight, and don’t push to delay the health care law or starve it of federal money.
The economic emphasis, after weeks devoted to the Syrian crisis, begins coming into focus in a series of events kicked off by a Rose Garden speech Monday. It’s a determined effort to confront public skepticism about his stewardship of the economy and to put down his marker for budget clashes with Congress in the weeks ahead.
The White House argues that a better capitalized and better regulated financial sector is extending more credit, fueling an economy now able to withstand headwinds such as spending cuts and tax increases…

Financial planners: Practice what you preach

Here’s an interesting question to chew on: Do you know what your fund manager or adviser’s portfolio looks like?
Well, the men and women behind Steadyhand—one of Canada’s no-load, non-commissioned mutual fund companies—want you to know that if you’re a client, they’re eating what you’re eating. As of June 30, the employees at this firm had $25.4 million invested in their own funds, which represents 84% of the company’s assets on average.
David Toyne, director of business development at Steadyhand, says disclosing this type of information is critical because it demonstrates to clients that everyone’s interests are united—put it another way, if the ship goes down, everyone goes with it. Unfortunately, he notes, “information about a fund manager or adviser’s own portfolio is rarely made public, let alone discussed.”
He’s right. Indeed, I’d wager that if you did pose the question it would be uncomfortably sidestepped. But if a fund manager or adviser were completely forthcoming in their response, more likely than not they would tell you their own portfolio looks absolutely nothing like yours…
