Another strike against Financial Advisors

[Tandemlovers]

I thought some here might be interested in this article/podcast of an interview conducted by
Todd Tresidder who writes about financial matters (and runs a business providing financial advice).

The interview details how much education the typical investment planner/advisor receives, and how the
commissions they receive are calculated by investment firms and brokerages. It is available as a
podcast and can be read in transcript form.

I got bogged down about 1/2 way thru, but I wouldn't call the people he describes as advisors. I'd call them brokers. Net, says nothing about/against people looking out for you; i.e., true advisors.

Does show the expenses of actively traded mutual funds.
