Financial Advice!
I've had a lot of accounts and have been with or reviewed a number of leading mutual funds.
The majority of funds have expenses. They can have expense ratios, front loads, back loads, etc. An investor pays so much to have these funds. However, my question is how much advice does a investor recieve over say a year in managing these funds.
OK! lets consider getting a financial advisor. How about $300 a quarter to sit down and review a TSP portfolio. More?....Less?
What is the expenses for the TSP funds? Almost nill. How much does TSPTalk charge for e-mail elerts? Another nill. TSPTalk is associated with Shark Investing http://www.sharkinvesting.com/ TSPTalk gets a newsletter and a daily "around the reef" comments from shark investing. This is a premium service at $20 a month.
Now I realize that TSPTalk has some expertise in the markets, noting comments and the subscription to www.decisionpoint.com along with the information coming from www.sharkinvesting.com.
So, for a bottom line, most members know that I'm retired. I'm staying with TSP, hopefully TSPTalk will put up with that darn Spaf for a while longer. I'm going with the Rev. Shark. I have a subscription service with the Rev. Shark I wanted to try out. However, the newsletter and the reef daily comments are really a good deal!
Anyway, these are my comments, agree/disagree.
Regards, and be careful!
