Are most financial advisors not held to a fiduciary standard?

But when it comes to sales is it really that way?

You're going to make more money off of a repeat customer than off of a larger commission.

Here's what we now know about Twitter and its impending initial public offering:It will trade under the symbol TWTRThe IPO will raise $1 billionJack Dorsey owns 4.9 percent of the company, Ev Williams 12 percent, and CEO Dick Costolo 1.6 percent. Poor Dick! Just kidding, that's still a lot.Twitter is not profitable. It lost almost $80 million in the first six months of 2013, and has never been profitableTwitter currently has 215 million monthly active users—less than expected.CEO Dick Costolo draws an annual salary of $200,000, though it was just reduced to $14,000 this summer—he also made about $10 million in stock, so good deal overall.None of Twitter's executives wrote a letter in the S-1 indicating why anyone should care.Twitter claims only 5% of its accounts are fake, which seems very, very low.

the stuff about the country specific index funds was pretty interesting though. not really surprising I guess. and the general tone of the piece was great.
