I followed her advice in 1999 and ended up losing about $5,000.
Only good that came of the 2000 free-fall is I don't listen to anal-ysts fools anymore... they're all crooks with $3,000 suits. I now only invest in low cost index funds (total stock and total bond).
good example, those are the kinds of people I cannot stand. and Jack Grubman.
And she did not even kiss you? Sorry, I could not resist. Following any individuals investment advice without sound research -on each and every item- can be a recipe for disaster. Unless of course you are married to her, and her daddy is throwing cash at you. Only then is it different
"Free" advice is worth about what you pay for it. Boiled down to their essence what these guys (and gals) are is nothing more than Used Stock Salesmen. They may be smart as the dickens and have gone to the finest schools but their function in in life is to sell Wall Street's inventory to investors. Sometimes the inventory is a fine product at a reasonable price, like a Toyota, and sometimes it's a clunker of a Yugo priced like a Mercedes. Caveat Emptor! (It still works a whole lot better than Cuba, though.)
