I agree, but I have an MBA in finance so I know a little and do manage my investments without "professional" help.

A lot of great articles on yahoo.com / finance. Today read an article how the money for the Nobel prize is managed. Tehy ahd good advice.
I also happen to watch Mad Money. I have listened and bought stocks that Cramer recommends do my due diligence and have been very successful!

You definitly have to do what you are comfortable with. But you can't be an ostrich either!
