Ever hear of stroking your clients, think Vanguard is getting good at it...... I have an older brother who has used Advisors all his life, most of them bought a lot of Vanguard, I used to tell him I can buy anything he wants for 0 commission/fees....or for peanuts..... His quote "I use professionals"....I call it leading the sheep to mini-slaughter..
I've never heard of not having time for making money.....and nobody goofs off more than me.....lame
