Practitioners prefer technical analysis because it requires effort on their part to execute and it literally makes them the value added in the client relationship. With global expert support from firms like Dorsey Wright with hundreds of thousands of charts and strategies kept up to date in real time for over two decades, the insight derrived through technical analysis is profound as evidenced by proven and extraordinary results. MPT is very helpful in a general sense, technical analysis, managed by a pro, gets results.

This section contains news and coverage about the dozens of conferences held in the advisory industry every year. Those conferences range from annual events put on by the big custodians to small hands-on workshops hosted by law firms, consultants and tech companies, among others. RIABiz can't cover all the conferences, but this page includes our stories about those we have written about.

We hope that getting a flavor of the different gatherings helps you decide which are worthwhile attending and &mdash; if you're in the conference business yourself &mdash; what clicks with attendees and what doesn't. Have a suggestion for a conference we should cover? Email me, Brooke Southall at <a href="mailto:brooke@riabiz.com">brooke@riabiz.com</a>.

The RIA business is many good things but integrated from a gender standpoint is not one of them. This is not so great. Women are the majority of humanity and they have an asset-building strategy that can't be beat. Women outlive their beer-and-steak mates and end up with big estates. But today's women have too another strategy -- pursuing wealth in the workplace. Yet when they go to find fellow women to talk all this through with, they don't readily find them. 

Companies big and small have for decades fallen over themselves to say that they have women's initiatives but I can't think of one that has amounted to much. But there are stories-- dozens or hundreds -- of them about women exerting their influence on this business and we are starting to collect them. It's a starting place -- documenting the ground being covered by women in the form of engaging tales graphically depicted by the physiognomy of the fairer sex.
