Have you ever seen an advisor on TV or read a quote from an advisor and thought, "They should be talking to me; I'm just as smart as that advisor."

The fact is, that advisor may not be any smarter than you from a technical standpoint, but they may be more media savvy than you are.

Now more than ever, money is news, twenty-four-seven. Baby boomers are retiring. Millennials have major money issues. Health care costs, Social Security, and Medicare are a constant source of political debate. The pros and cons of the new tax laws are still contentious. Cryptocurrencies could be bigger than the internet…or simply the next pets.com.
