The Contravisory team believes weakness in the relative price trends could be foretelling an end to their historic business models.  A model that was substantially aided by a near 30 year secular decline in interest rates combined with a totally opaque fixed income market.  Now with interest rates near zero, and potential change in customer fiduciary responsibility, the market is saying "beware."  It's highly unlikely these companies will be able to recognize, or adjust to, their changed business conditions any time soon.  Sell investment banks and brokers.
