I was visiting a friend the other day and he started asking me about finances, investing etc. - I basically told him that I invest in index funds in different asset classes.
He then went on to describe the 'outfit' that was handling his finances. He said they were different and had been educated at Harvard and were 'way out in front' of the run-of-the-mill brokers. They used a 'scientific approach' to pick the correct investment mix that would give you superior returns. It was truly cutting-edge and not like anything ever used in this industry and that he was very lucky to have run into these guys. :
I asked him how much they charge for this service. A blank stare came over his face. I knew he had no idea. But I could tell, they really made him feel special and that they convinced him that they were 'different' from all the crooks. He was now trying to convince me, but he could tell that I was not that interested.
I just smiled and said 'good for you'. :
