stock brokers: PLACES TO FIND OUT IF YOUR FINANCIAL ADVISER IS ON THE UP AND UP - 02/10/12 09:25 AM

I’ll admit that I’ve been on a rampage writing blogs about the secrets of some prominent Dallas investment advisers, financial planners, and the like.
It all started when I did some checking, and what I found out I didn't like!
Well-known celebrities and business people offer their personal endorsements before, during and after some of the investment advisers' radio infomercials.
And just like those who are listening to their endorsement, you have to believe that they are willy-nilly endorsing someone whose ineptitudes and legal violations they know nothing about.  If they did, they would probably distance themselves all together.

stock brokers: ALFRED E NEUMANN TAKES A LOOK AT THE MARKET: THE MELT DOWN - 12/12/08 07:25 AM

Financial Advisor, Alfred E. Neumann
 
Financial advisors of every nature --- stock brokers, life insurance specialists, real estate investment mentors, trust officers, economists, the list goes on and on -- not only neglected to work to get their clients out of the equities market before it began its decent, but were encouraging them to continue taking more risks by increasing their portfolios.
That's indisputable, and it's indisputable that the majority's advice and the products they were pushing are, in the main, what has caused the world financial markets to tumble to their present low points.  So in the opinion … (3 comments)
