Default Never Ever " Reach Beyond Your Complete Understanding "
I had 35 years of experience in banking , investments and finance . In the 90`s I built from scratch what became at the time the largest bank owned brokerage and insurance operation in the US .

There is no magic bullet . Unless you completely and totally understand the risks involved and can live with the " downside " move on to something you can live with and is well diversified .

I too have regularly read those advertisements . If it was all such a safe and sure thing the investments would not be made available to us retired living here in Central Florida .

Think about it .
