Sgt. Schultz indeed!! LOL
I hope more Freepers come to realize that the financial services segment of this society has become corrupt. Very corrupt and needs 100 more “Bernies” thrown into jail. Even the TBTF banks.
Mine hasn't..so let's not group all financial services people under the corrupt banner. But comes down to conservative growth; however in the 90's it was like in the gold rush days with the Internet and telecoms( the latter which were never bailed out and never came back to where back should be)
You should be personally involved, everything is run by you, by your financial services person--it's not just getting a statement at the end of the month..you give permission to do what they might suggest..you ask questions.
It's so diversified now, more than ever before, but can do very well, if you are with good people. Being conservative in investments, you may lose out on an up and coming overly fast growing stock, but better safe than sorry. You just go in later is all after it has proved itself. It's long term you are looking at and investment growth under diversification is outside of this country.
