With the prospect of a U.S. default looming just a few weeks from now, would you guess that financial advisors on Twitter might be tweeting their own commentary? You would be right.

Of course, the media are seeking the perspectives of advisors and filing their own reports. But what AdvisorTweets.com celebrates is the visibility of advisors using self-publishing platforms (Twitter, blogs, podcasts, videos, etc.) to deliver their own analyses, as long, short and caustic as necessary. They’re on the line to anticipate and explain the impact of a U.S. default on their clients’ portfolios.

This is a high information-gathering and sharing time as shown by the high volume of tweets this week and especially today.

Here’s just a sampling of some of the tweets spotted in the AdvisorTweets stream and by using the site’s search engine.
