Heck, after their Ameriprise experience their still amazed they can own stocks that pay them instead of just riding up and down. I will have to say that from time to time my sister brings up that they want to pay me. That's not going to happen. Not putting them down, as I believe they are normal, but I am always amazed that people will put someone else in charge of their money. In essence you sell the time of your life for money and then hand it to someone else to watch over. I just don't get it. Of the ports I run, my cousin who started with only 8 stocks has made out the best, getting both COP and ABT splits. Guess the answer is to only buy stocks that are going to spin off or split.
