Happy New Year! As I mentioned in my last post, I write for four blogs, including two in connection with my association with the Paladin Registry, a pro-investor organization that provides advice to help investors protect themselves against investment scams and other questionable practices used by the financial services industry to exploit investors. I recently wrote a two-part post on techniques investors can use to determine if their financial advisor is truly acting in their best interests. The two posts can be found at http://iwd.paladinregistry.com/advisors-2/financial-advisor-owe-money-standards-care/ and http://iwd.paladinregistry.com/advisors-2/financial-advisor-owe-money-breaches-care/
