Do you believe in the advice, "Follow the Money?" And I don't mean your money, I mean the money the broker is taking from your investment. Sales fees, investment fees, holding fees, commissions, loads, and much more taken from your investment is how the financial advisors can afford fancy offices with large staffs. Maxman (in his first post on this thread) is right on when he says indexed funds out perform 80% of managed funds. Get into Vanguard index funds and let the investment returns stay in your portfolio instead of funding the financial planners extravagant lifestyle.
