I agree that nearing retirement all asset classes you are in should be reevaluated. I would not feel comfortable being very heavy in any class at...
Eh, some are guys sick of who they consider amateurs. One of my all time favorite dealers was rude and short until I proved I was a serious...
Lots of blame to go around for 2008. My final paper for my MBA was an assessment of mortgage securitization that it cannot diversify away Alpha...
I hear you sir, but you must remember its very expensive to attend that convention. I would have less tolerance of dealers not being more open to...
I didn't believe you were uncivil either sir. I was just generically saying these forums work best when we can civilly discuss our opinions. We...
