The 'feel rich' euphoria they create is amazing. Dumping the novice retail investor is really the flip side, not often heard about. To get your knowledge to a level where you can distinguish sane advice from committing harakari requires more than gray cells. And sure no matter what a biz channel advocates, it is still coming out of an idiot box - so beware. The channels bread and butter does not lie in your investing or disinvesting -- it makes a kill by the number of advertising slots it is able to sell.
