yes,in a sense.. but again, a tech savvy or market wise person may find it difficult to get into the financial planning biz.. not that there are enough good ones out there.. many financial planners{some people read them as insurance guys} are good at planning portfolios for the long haul, the long haul to main st.. does not include real time level two quotes and worrying about intraday quotes..
the advent of online investing has made many novices traders, and helped many novices lose a lot of money..
how many have you seen come and go on these boards.. many people ain't around..
retired or people that are fairly well heeled can afford to spend this time on si playing with their money..
your business experience helped guide you to where you are right now roger.. but can you deal with 100 clients calling you asking why their stock collapsed or @ every 1/2 point tick..?
i suggest you read from hard knocks to hot stocks.. ahh.. i gotta go look up his last name.. i will post it tomorrow.. don't wanna knock around the house @ this hour looking for the authors name..
anyway i like deciding my fate and my future..
but doing it 100% for many neurotic people.. that's like owning a retail store in NY.. i am not interested..
anyway.. i think that the virtual office and setup allows freedom for access 24/7 from anywhere with limited required time.. and that is fantastic for some of the bright minds here..<<<then we each use that info in our own decisions>>>
taking risks with one's money is easier than with someone else's..
plus the liability for suggesting someone short a presstek and have it quadruple and wipe out a chunk of someone's net worth.. because the broker.. was busy elsewhere could leave a large legal liability,if that person was not fiscally fit for such activity..
be well.
