Why Can't We Arrest the Joker Brokers?
We have a special guest joining us today, April Brown, a retired law enforcement professional. And we're having a conversation about the tricks and strategies "Joker Brokers" use to steer you into a plan that doesn't work for you but is really in their best interest. It's mostly deception, and what bugs us is that they are not teaching, just telling. We like to teach and inform our clients so they understand how everything works, and they know where they are going. Charlie likes to use the analogy that these Joker Brokers are like taxi drivers who take your money, and then take you where they want you to go, you don't have much of a choice in your destination! Listen in as we reveal some of the underlying issues of the strategies these brokers use, why they aren't in your best interest, and what works better, much better.

Where There Are Losses, There Is Steak
Today, we're here to chat about what you may have been experiencing for the last couple months in this market, which is where there are losses, there's steak. Watch out vegans, this is not a vegan episode. (Just kidding). There are lots of laws in the universe, and there seems to be a law that when the market goes down, your joker broker advisor wants to play golf or wants to meet you. Their relationship becomes really important all of a sudden! Oh my goodness, wait, the market's down. I should reach out to the Jones' and to the Smiths… Right? Because they got you with the risk with a side of fees as the answer to everything. When the market's going up, there's no reason really to talk, right? Nope. You're happy. Anyway, we talk about it all the time, all the evidence proves that if you don't use the joker brokers, you'd make more money just buying the index. Listen to this episode as we give our advice and some tips on what to do when the steak shows up! And, if you have any questions, we are more than happy to answer them.

We are back for the final installment in this series! We have been reviewing an article that came out ten years ago with a similar title to our podcast episode.

We like to make these concepts simple and easy for you to understand. And if you have any questions, we have answers and reports we can share with you or your agent.
