One good thing about having old Art on ignore is that I know what he posted without reading it. Just have to read the 1st response and you're done.

You see, this is where ignorance starts. Once again, someone who has no idea what I posted, just decided they needed to take a shot at me. It's like a blind person walking the street without a cane and cursing traffic. Geez I hate closed minded people.
Why would anyone here assume I'd want them as a client? I have much higher minimums. How's that for blind assumptions?

Oh my. I've just been insulted by an annuity salesman. My fragile ego may never survive the indignity...

LOL! I guess you assumed the post was directed at you. I guess your ego is fragile.

Nope. We're waiting for the bad news from the polls. We might as well slap one another around while we wait.

A large amount of fees and a high penalty for early withdrawal? What do I win?

Why June 30th? By June the S&P had already lost 20% from last October's highs...

Well that was about the time the market actually gave a sell signal. I've never tried to guess the top of anything.

A sh*t, I suppose. This is simply the inverse of me saying "I don't give a sh*t".
Edit to add: I imagine you are including individual stocks, since I have very little in MF's.
