Most people with substantial wealth have it outside of retirement/qualified accounts.

Additionally, we specialize in mass grave plans.

I don’t believe discretion is the difference between being an advisor or not. I know plenty of fee based FAs that don’t use discretion.
I guess what I meant was if the guy isn't even asking for permission to trade and recommending what to buy or sell, I would not consider them a financial advisor. Sure there are advisors without discretion, but they are still the ones asking the client for permission and making trading suggestions/recommendations.

Bottom line you need to invest your money yourself. It isn't rocket science.

I assume you mean you are have the account since 2019 and this year you are down 22%. YTD on the S&P 500 is 22.73%. Most Financial advisors will not out perform this on a year over year basis. As stated in another post most of the FA's are there to stop emotional trading. Doing something stupid.


Ever since I put my money into that account, I have lost a total of 22% since 2019. The managed account (Merrill) is down 22% that does not have S&P. My Roth (self managed) is separate and has strictly S&P.
