In this day and age and back in 2000 $500K is not a lot of $$-- it depends on the size of your portfolio/assets--I'm fortunate enough to have been successful and have invested to make growth when it was need-- the Solomon Smith Barney advisor i had was more interested in her commissions from pushing Citi bank investments that looking out for me--I wanted her to get me a large position in Goldman Sachs--she said "we don't cover that" should have been a red flag--cost me close to $2 million Goldman Sachs went public @$50.00 back then
