Amid Political Instability And Volatility, Rave Reviews and 4.9-Stars For Fritz Meyer

Economic risk is a constant but U.S. political instability is new. With images of Syrian children choking on sarin gas and on the brink of a U.S. constitutional crisis, economist Fritz Meyer somehow makes sense of the world, or at least makes you not abandon optimism, according to the reviews of the latest monthly economic update webinar. 

Of 125 attendees who took the time to rate the two-hour long session, 10 gave it a 4-star rating and the other 115 advisors all gave it five stars. That’s insane! Comments from attendees are below.

Thank you to A4A members for your thoughtful comments, reviews, attention and appreciation for our work.

  • Very informative
  • Excellent presentation. Sometimes hard to follow statistical relationships while looking at the charts and listening to the presentation. This is just due to me overanalyzing most likely and not listening carefully enough.

  • Super job today Fritz! Thanks for the reminders on asset allocation "rules" (don't try and make predictions year to year) and also for the refutation of the talking heads on CNBC and elsewhere when it comes to their mangling of the data. Shaming these imposters is a great service to anyone who cares to listen. Please continue to keep up the detailed analyses and observations which have kept many of us in lockstep with the market for a long time now.
  • I don't think Fritz could do better.
  • Extremely informative.  Expert quantitative analysis, as usual.

  • Fritz Meyer continues to be an incredibly effective speaker, and his quarterly presentations are the main reason why I am an A4A member. Over time, his reinforcement and building on ideas helps to drive the information home in a meaningful way.
  • Excellent
  • I appreciated the view on China/US tariffs.
  • Interesting as always.  It is good that it is scheduled for the 2 hr limit and not the 1 hr.
  • SUPER
  • Great. Thanks.
  • Thanks for the talk about the trade wars.
  • Excellent as always
  • Overall, very good.  The pointer/cursor jumping around the screen was a distraction.
  • Very insightful and inspiring. 
  • I always learn a lot from Fritz's webinars.  I feel that he is very dedicated to his field and presents well thought out and researched information to those attending.  And more often than not, looking back, he has been so much more accurate then the "talking" heads on cable TV.
  • Fritz is always excellent. I look forward to his monthly and quarterly updates.

  • Good Information
  • Fritz is always great.  In one of the upcoming webinars, I would like to hear more about future U.S. deficits.  Fritz has shown the slide previously that around 2025 the deficits start escalating.  How has that changed with the new U.S. Tax Bill passed in December, and the new budget passed in Q1.  Both increased deficit spending and I want to know the current and future impact.
  • Keep me focused on the cause/effect of economics as it relates to long term investing.  Very solid webinar series I always look forward to.
  • Good update, covered all
  • Really well presented
  • Great as usual.
  • Fritz does a good job.
  • Outstanding
  • Top notch

  • holds a CFP®, CIMA®, CPA, CPA/PFS, CFA or other designation requiring CE annually 
  • values monthly CE classes by Fritz Meyer, Craig Israelsen, Bob Keebler, Frank Murtha, or Andrew Gluck
  • diversifies a core of client portfolios in low-expense funds
  • invests based on MPT and economic fundamentals
  • advises on tax and financial planning as well as investing
  • needs financial counseling skills
  • wants the Certified Financial Counselor™ designation 
  • is building a brand as a thought leader locally or in a niche

MEMBER REVIEWS 
William Desormeau, Jr.  
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.

Fredric Mayerson, MBA, PhD, CFP®
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
