The Golden Goose is Sick

It is finally catching up with them. The brokerage companies I mean. For old age they have got been eating bad nutrient to their flock and now the flock is rebelling. The client have been low adult male on the totem pole for too long. That nutrient have been the disinformation that have caused clients to lose large sums of money of money.

Last twelvemonth there were 33,000 brokerage company recommendations for thousands of stocks. Things like Strong Buy, Buy, Long Term Buy, Outperform, Underperform, Neutral, and Hold. The 1 word that was missing was Sell. Of those thousands of messages sent to their clients only 125 were Sell. Something is very seriously incorrect here. While the market was going up in 1999 the so-called analysts whose occupation it is to calculate out if the company is a bargain campaigner were telling you to purchase everything in sight. Anyone could have got used a dart and thrown it at the long listing of pillory in the newspaper and hit a victor almost every time.

What happened to the in-depth analysis of the brokerage company geniuses when these same pillory started down. I cognize - Hold. They name it Buy and Hold, but I name it Buy and Prey. In 2000 over 1,000 pillory on the Nasdaq lost more than than 90% of their value and today many of those companies have got gone under. Why were you not notified and told to sell? Because the brokerage companies were making more than money doing Initial Populace Offerings (IPO) than they were making committees on your trading.

To state the naughty word "Sell" would have got got made company executive directors huffy and they would not have given the brokerage company a shot at their adjacent Initial Populace Offering (IPO). To heck with the customer; he doesn't count. There are cases where analysts were fired because they told clients to sell out.

Now that the moneymaking initial public offering market have got dried up maybe the brokerage companies will get to recognize they have a fiducial duty to their customers. Hundreds of thousands of customers' accounts have got lost 40%, 50% and more than of their equity. If the short-sighted brokers had protected these accounts they would have got 100s of billions of extra dollars left so the client could merchandise again which would intend billions more in committees for the house. Now the dollar cost averaging technique is left with no dollars to invest.

Customers are afraid to set more than money in the stock market because they have got been so badly abused. They cognize something is wrong, but they don't cognize what so they wisely throw onto their money and decline to pour more than into losing propositions. Brokers desire the clients to purchase pillory and not set their dollars into a money market account where they do no commission.

The golden goose have got lost quite a few pounds, but let's trust the brokerage companies have learned that by treating clients with regard and eating them properly will convey them greater rewards.
