I do not. I value my relationship with my advisor and don't think I’d be where I am without his good advice and steady hand. Different strokes.
Thats all fine, however sometime add up what this relationship is costing you and I think you will find that over a 20 to 25 year period it is costing you 50% of your portofilio.
