Timely information is vital in our field, and keeping up-to-date on financial news, trends, analysis, and research will help you help your customers, and ensure that they value you as a resource. The web links below are some of Mark's favorites. They're almost all maintained by the federal government. Most of them have notification and/or list services, so you can sign up to receive regular emailings. (Mark warns that you may experience "information overload" if you feel compelled to read it all. But file it away where you can easily access it when you need to.)
