Well, BX, this is certainly an interesting response to my post. I agree that when it comes to your money, you can't trust anyone else to handle it for you. That has been my experience with brokers and others as well. Excerpt from article you referred me to. "Mr. Smith, who is 32 years old, couldn't be reached for comment. In testimony last year before the National Association of Securities Dealers, he denied doing anything improper. Dean Witter told the NASD it had no knowledge of the real-estate deal. The company, now part of Morgan Stanley Dean Witter & Co., declines to comment on the Smith matter. [Trough it all runs a broader investing lesson. Those who otherwise may be skeptical of brokers managing their money often let their guard down when dealing with people they know or relate to well.] Mr. Smith “got my trust by being someone like me,” says the soft-spoken Mr. Roberts, 35. “Not only was he another black, he was an ex-football player, he came from Alabama and went to the same schools.”
