Earlier this month, advisors were piling into Denver for Schwab Impact — remember Schwab Impact?
Followed by a month of falling energy prices, ever-earlier holiday shopping madness and rage against Uber — from its bad-boy CEO to its threats to dig up dirt on critical journalists to its questionable naming ideas for internal tools — the gathering seems like a long-ago summer soiree.
Meanwhile, the Securities and Exchange Commission approved a controversial new form of ETF, a Twitter exec had something of an Anthony Weiner moment and Barry Ritholtz had a sense of irony.
