How important is the financial media to my investment decisions?
Jenny observes that we seem to be a nation of trend-followers, exemplified by the recent hedge fund debacles, and before that, the “dot com” boom and bust. People and things can receive a lot of positive press (good marketing) without having a lot of substance underneath (Enron, WorldCom, subprime mortgages, etc.) Forthright Financial Planning LLC resolves to be a small company providing services that meet the needs of a small, select group of clients. Jenny’s desire is to have business relationships that become friendships, not to take advantage of a client’s fears.
