Are most financial advisors not held to a fiduciary standard?  :confused:
people tend to look out for there best interest.

Seems to me like the best interest of an advisor would be to do what is best for the client, thus keeping the client's business.
It would seem that way. But when it comes to sales is it really that way?

I mean unless you were desperate for immediate funds, it should be.  You're going to make more money off of a repeat customer than off of a larger commission.

I might go all-in on Twitter's IPO

oh, good plan dumbass.

I'm talking like every cent to my name plus a loan from my grandma.

Short it for the first month, then buy as much as you can.
yes because it's guaranteed to follow the same trajectory as facebook.

it probably will

$6 trades with CapOne. Transfer funds instantly from CapOne Savings/Banking (used to be ING direct and used to have incredible savings account rates). Still an easy online bank and cheap trade thingy.

Here's what we now know about Twitter and its impending initial public offering:

It will trade under the symbol TWTR
The IPO will raise $1 billion
Jack 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 profitable
Twitter 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.


Woooooooooof! Never mind, I'll take my monies elsewhere.

Embrace the grind.  And invest as much as you possibly can.  And take my advice from after fattyfest.

the turnover ratio comparison on the first page is horribly flawed at best and totally misleading at worst.

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. I mean, ultimately they are just shilling for their fund.

I thought there were a couple good points they made and I certainly agree with parts of it, but in the end, it's just like any quarterly commentary that comes from an investment company that's trying to sell you something: it's mostly biased and misleading.
