that guy is an idiot.
You never took the life insurance class at BYU business school then eh? Because the only thing they told you to buy was Whole Life. That's strange...you must be getting a mixed message over there.
By the way, sudweeks managed a small cap itnernatinoal fund. He was the managing broker..not the investor. If you have a chance to invest directly on the street, do it. But more than likely, its through about 9 peoples pocket before it ever gets to the street.
And a business class is such good real world experience. When you actually have a real job (which you may not get comming out of there since everyone gets taht degree and have to go the graduate school), lets have this conversation again.
You mean you heard from a bunch of people who made a living from doing investments that investments were the way to go? Shocking! Talk about biased. Why don't they get the biased title?
