Tyro is according to Webster a beginning learner. FIDO is short for Fidelity Investments

It takes time but I find nobody watches my money better than I do. Take in consideration what they cost you and it isn't too hard to do reasonably well yourself. My biggest losses have come on others advice! Either way the big boys still win.

The time to fire a financial advisor is BEFORE he/she loses some of your money.
