Out Of The Mouths Of Wives
We recently moved our retirement account from an online brokerage firm to a company with local advisors. I guess we figured we needed a bit more guidance than, well...none.
Since hooking up with this new company, though--and through no fault of our advisor’s, by the way--the market has taken a precipitous drop. Our balances have done likewise.
So today, we ran in to our investment advisor and his wife at the post office.
“Hey, it’s you,” I said, in as light a tone as I could manage. Even If I am somewhat disenchanted with our fledgling relationship, I wouldn’t want him to think I was about to go postal on him. “What a coincidence. We were just talking about our money...”
I thought maybe he’d spout a bit of timeworn advice like “This looks like a great buying opportunity...” or maybe “We’re going to need to keep a long-term perspective.”
But no, his lips were sealed. Instead his wife spoke up with the most funny money line I’ve heard in a long time.
“Hope you’ve got a lot of it!”
And gold has gone up up up!
