Investment Help

If you are seeking investment help, look at the video here on my services. If you are seeking a different approach to managing your assets, you have landed at the right spot. I am a fee-only advisor registered in the State of Maryland, charge less than half the going rate for investment management, and seek to teach individuals how to manage their own assets using low-cost indexed exchange traded funds. Please call or email me if interested in further details. My website is at http://www.rwinvestmentstrategies.com. If you are new to investing, take a look at the "DIY Investor Newbie" posts here by typing "newbie" in the search box above to the left. These take you through the basics of what you need to know in getting started on doing your own investing.

Say It Ain't So Eddie

Source: Sports Illustrated
Eddie Murray is one of several professional athletes being investigated for trading on inside information that Abbott Labs was on the verge of buying Advanced Medical Optics in 1/2009.

Eddie Murray, a Hall of Famer, is one of the most beloved professional athletes in Baltimore history.  Furthermore, his is another case where you just have to scratch your head and wonder why he did it.  He is well off financially.

As an advisor, I have to end with a recommendation:  Please...look in the mirror...unless you see a member of Congress staring back. don't trade on non-publicly available information!  It's that simple.
If you are a member of Congress, you can disregard - you are above the law and can do what you want.

      The smart ones are multi-millionaires at least...... Many go into office poor, but few leave office without being set for life.
