Brain Snappers and Other Wall Street Nonsense

The last clip you spoke with your broker did
he utilize any of the following words? Diversification,
Price-to-earnings ratios, discretional trading,
lifting a leg (he’s talking to you not your
dog), leverage, divergence, fee-based
compensation, escalator clause clause, tactical asset
allotment and other hypnotic words to place
you in stupefying shock.

Brokers do that to allow you cognize that you
don’t cognize anything about the market and you must
allow them to make determinations for you. You don’t
cognize the language. You are just too dumb. Another mushroom.

Wadda ya’ mean value mushroom? Didn’t you know? Most clients are considered mushrooms. A mushroom
is grown in the dark and Federal horse manure. Now
you understand why they handle you that way.

Then seek to get him to explicate commission
constructions of common funds. Oh, you’re not
allowed to inquire that. You might desire to read page
35 in the January 31, 2005 issue of Newsweek
magazine for an first-class dislocation of this Wall
Street scam. Maybe you better not. You will get
huffy at your broker.

Another 1 of those large words they don’t want
to discourse is salvation fees. This is an extra
charge of as much as 2% of the amount that is
deducted from your check if you sell within a
certain clip period of time. Brokerage companies tell
you it is to discourage frequent short-term
trading which adds to their cost of doing
business and additions the disbursals that are
charged to you every year. Having owned a
brokerage company I can state you this is more than of
that brownish material they feed to the mushrooms.

The ground for salvation fees is to discourage
you from selling. You might take money out of
your account and that must be restricted in
every manner possible.

Some of the biggest words are associated with
those particular limited partnerships. These are
definitely encephalon twisters. You can get these in
existent estate, infirmary construction, oil and gas
tobacco pipe lines and the most confusing 1 of all is
technology. And they are all guaranteed. That
word I understand, but be certain you read the fine
black and white to see what is guaranteed. You remember
the old 1 that they give it to you in the big
black and white and take it away in the mulct print.

How about placing a bounds command on a secondary
statistical distribution of a particular claim on residual
equity certificates? You didn’t understand that? Believe me you don’t desire to.

When you are solicited by your broker, financial
contriver or anyone to purchase any equity you must
clearly understand what you are buying.

If you don’t understand it don’t bargain it.
