He is a HUGE leftwinger.

He hired Dan Rather, for example.

[Qwackertoo]

He is a jerk.

Do you really think your broker, his boss and the analysts at their firm really are being completely honest with you about how much they know about these investments they want you to make ? Ask them if they are making the exact same investment with their money. Ask them if they would make the same investment if they were not allowed to look at a quote screen all day long like you aren’t able to – which tells you if they trust the investment or want to watch it second by second knowing they may have to pull the trigger and get out on a moments notice.

I have to throw the flag on that one. Legitimate brokers are discouraged from using "I bought it myself!" as a come-on because that's what the bucket-shop boys use. It's associated with unsavory practices such as pumping and dumping (selling after the price has been driven up by the pitches) and bribery (when the broker "bought in myself" as a special low-low price in exchange for pushing the stock.)

I'm making an issue of this point because "I bought some myself; see?" sound sincere, but is too associated with crookery to get a pass.

Remember this. It’s better to make less, or next to nothing than to lose everything.
Three years ago, Glenn Beck spoke of the impending market crash. I heard him, pulled all my retirement money out of the market and invested in a fixed rate fund.
When the market tanked I lost nothing. Today, my friends are still working trying to make up what they lost, while I've been retired for three years ... and sleeping comfortably at night.
