What I think I might say is, so we're financial advisors.

We're primarily financial planners and retirement planners.

And I think the distinction there is, I think sometimes people look at a financial advisor

and they think, well, I'm going to hire this advisor and they're going to invest my money and they're going to tell me when to get into the stock market

and when to get out of the stock market. When should I buy Apple? When should I buy gold?

And studies after study show that that's a futile approach. Yes. We believe that the greatest

amount of value can be made in the proper financial planning.
