If you found a gold streak whilst digging, do you a). Keep digging and keep it, or b). Yell "Eureka", so all and sundry can enjoy it too.
Unfortunately the financial advice givers were neither gold diggers nor even prospectors. Hell, they weren't even there. They read about it.
I find those giving advice are are inflating their own ego by pretending to be more knowledgeable and smarter than you.
Those receiving money for advice are the smart ones. All care, no responsibility. Actually, no care either.
How many times do we get called from someone called Matt, selling investment advice?
And which one of us profited by handing Matt all our phone numbers?
But that's it. These people make money from giving advice, not figuring it out, analyzing, modelling and Warren Buffting anything.
They tell you what their opinion is and you pay them, for something they read about.
And opinions (advice) are like arseholes. Every one has one.
Halas, ain't that the truth! Agree with you 100%. Why would someone who knows how to make millions publish it in a book and spread it to the whole world? Maybe the millions he/she is making, actually come from the pimping of this same financial porn we are all advised to read.
Ninja, you say that my posts are not adding any value to this thread, but actually it does. Unfortunately it is not what you wanted to hear, but you should take heed.
