Okay, everybody, welcome to another episode of the Stansbury Investor Hour.

I'm your host, Dan Ferris.

I'm also the editor of Extreme Value, that's a value investing service published by

Stansberry Research.

I'm going to get right to the rant because

and I thought after last week's rant, this kind of was the perfect time to do it. Now last week,

by the way, I'm happy to report that last week's

rant was very well received, which means a lot to me because it was kind of a personal plea.

So if you haven't listened to last week's episode, you know, I hope you'll download it

and give it a listen. It was just, I was just trying to implore, beg, plead investors to take control of their own portfolios

and to only partner with people they really trust brokers and advisors and things.

And I got one heartfelt email from a listener who said, you know, am I doing something wrong?

I found an advisor and then he goes on to describe

this great relationship that he has with this advisor in this email. And of course, I can't give

personal advice. All I'm going to say is he described what sounds like a very good personal

relationship to me. And that's a way to make your investments really personal. You partner up with people you trust.
