Do You Use A Financial Advisor?

The 2004 - 2009 Strategic Plan of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) reports that "tens of thousands of investors complain each year about investment fraud or the mishandling of their investments by securities professionals." The person advising you is probably OK. However, if it is your retirement, your children's education, or your life's savings that are at stake it is better to safe than sorry.

To ensure that you are obtaining the best advice from your financial advisor you need to stay in touch with the market. You don't have the time or the expertise to judge the market yourself so you need the opinions of other experts on the stock market to give you a balanced view.

The quickest and easiest way to obtain the facts and opinions you need is to become a Subscriber (free) to this Internet site. If you need more control of your financial advisor become a Premium Member. You will see more information in less time, about the economy, the market's direction, the strong and weak market sectors, winning stocks, and the scandals that plague the industry. The cost is insignificant compared to the cost of the financial planner and will repay itself many times over.

To obtain the best from your financial advisor you need to take a keen interest in what is being done for you, and to ask pertinent questions. Typical questions that you might ask are included in the Investors Internet's guide, "The Investor's Free Internet". More questions you need to ask will be generated as you read the Subscriber's Weekly Newsletter or the Premium Members pages.
