Stock Selection Advice

Clients may ask us to evaluate individual securities, however, our policy, assuming the client is open to new ideas, would be to recommend that equities (stocks) be held in the form of open-end mutual funds. This avoids technical trading problems, allows for economies of scale by the fund company to hire specialists, and allows for greater diversification.

We offer fiduciary fee-only investment advice on a project fee basis, or an "assets under management" program run by a sub-advisor. No commissions are charged by us.

Remember: "The fastest way to make a small fortune is...with a large one" (due to reckless, naïve investing).


In order to have a successful retirement and meet other financial goals it is vital to get good investment advice. Retirement planning and retirement asset accumulation all require doing many years of good investment planning.
