  Incorrect!   Here's Why . . . .

Swiss Gnomes response:
The oldest sales technique in the book is to urge immediate action and a time sensitive investment opportunity or to escape some financial crisis just around the corner. Always make investment decisions after thorough deliberation and review instead of following the sales idea of every writer and financial expert. No investment expert can totally forecast the future movement of an investment or anything else.  If they had a clear crystal ball into the future, they would be retired rather than writing or advocating an investment.

    Correct!   Here's Why . . . .

Swiss Gnomes response:
Some of the best investment advice I’ve seen has been in subscription-based newsletters but my friends in the newsletter industry can not see the future any better than I can.  There is good and bad advice so investors should utilize the investment research from articles, publications, reports and newsletters in helping to make their own investment decisions but almost never totally rely on a single source when deciding your overall investment portfolio management, especially when immediate action is advised. Investment managers do this for a fee (usually a percentage of the assets under management) as opposed to being compensated (and compromised) by commissions.  Investment managers can play an important part in your financial plan both onshore and offshore.  Read more on choosing an investment advisor
