-My question, though, was who is responsible for the investor's investment choices? The company following its prospectus, or the investor risking his money?

Buyer beware is what I think.

"Do you often have people investing in insurance products they don't understand at all?

If so, is the responsibility theirs, or yours?"

I don't give professional investment "advice".

Do you have a professional license?

I have several friends who are CPAs. I'm sure they would stay away from "advising" clients on investment strategies

I've always had the opinion that the investor/wealth class despite their outward displays of social liberalism and environmental conscience.....it ends where their investments generate returns and where their expectations lie.

IOW, ESGs are overblown in terms of their actual impact. IOW, investment advisors, fund managers, etc.(people beholden to such fiduciary standards) weren't dabbling in that area much in the first place.

I have no proof of what I just stated except that we get reminded during elections that the uber wealthy are far more apolitical than we'd like to believe.

Again, there are the outward symbols of social liberalism we believe define these folks as liberal.

And then there are the meetings with their bankers, lawyers, accountants, insurance, and investment reps.........I assure you those meetings are NOT about their liberalism.....LOL

I liked that Chuck had a sense of humor enough to appear in movies like Dodgeball or that one where he kicked the ---- out of Joe Piscopo....funny as hell.

Steven Segal takes himself too seriously for that. Chuck was truly cool......

-I've had clients who specifically requested me to advise them about green funds. I found one which offered "real world" returns.

Isn't that a bit of a slippery slope?

gotta run........tomorrow is the wife's birthday. working on a letter....can't get distracted now.

no. not this time

"also don't criticize him"

You have 39 people agreeing with you but you need 40?

How much of an inferiority complex do you really have?

You're that insecure you need reinforcement from me regarding Trump criticism?

You never saw me criticize Joe Biden either.....but you aren't intellectually honest enough to wrap your frail little arms around that.

But despite your frailty......something tells me you could still beat AU in an arm wrestling.

Probably in a real wrestling match as well......but that's not a good idea. Clown would get too turned on.

-This is the America worthless white guys need in order to survive.

I wish it would help me. But it doesn't.

There is no way he wasn't told this was a distinct possibility.

So he's letting US intelligence take a beating instead of himself. Go figure.....

I hope this place never goes away.

Watching people embarrass themselves is worth the time.

Obsessed about how they can't get what they want. Angry over the fact many if not most Americans want something else and are willing to show up and take it from you.

I vote for the loser often as well. But damn.......the unhinged rage over losing is just too obvious to ignore in some of you dolts.

Rage that leads to the level of lying I see here just to safe face.......on a goddam anonymous site.

precious......just precious.

LOL.....more LOL.....

All this alcohol projection......interesting.

I'll take that as begging for my input here.

Iran's youth calling for political reform. The majority of the population of Iran being quite young.

It's not new, folks.

It's a 45+ year journey for Iran.

At least 15 years ago, the numbers were the same.

-Spell it out then instead of spouting your usual inane mockery of others.

It's not obvious?

you poor thing

you need to beg first.......

I bet Corky knows what I was laughing at.

or not.....

-60% of Iranians are under 30. Most Iranians would like access to the wider world and don't hate America.

I agree with that.

That's not what I'm laughing at, you dope.

to be wrong

----- greedy people who drink coffee,
-hate poor Americans

No. Never said anything of the sort

Before this is over....you'll be wrong at least 12 times just on this exchange today.

It's as if you're trying to wrong this much.

-Just make sure you can pay your bills, heaven forbid some jackhole on the internet starts spouting.....

If for any reason whatsoever I find myself in a situation where I can't pay my bills, the last thing I'm going to do is come here and start attacking jackholes.

I'll have bigger problems.

But that's an interesting revelation........are there posters here who are indeed having those issues and yet they're spending time here posting, attacking, etc.??

Hard to imagine anyone is that ------ in the head.

"mock Americans living paycheck to paycheck,"

Is that what I'm doing? Mocking an American named Clownshack living paycheck to paycheck with healthcare challenges?

When the subject of health care comes up, you never see me defending the current system.

I've always supported a universal health care solution.

How desperate do you have to be to pretend otherwise? "defend my job"? what a hack. That's never been the case.

Our health insurance and entire healthcare system is enormously flawed.

I'm not defending the current system. I just said some people are liars.

Not that the overall challenges with our system isn't real. It's most certainly real

BTW, I'm not in the benefits business......pure commercial P&C. No skin of my nose if private health insurance plans were to be replaced by a single-payer plan.

Clown, rather than being a snotty little anti-American twerp, you should be happy you have the freedom to be as wrong as you are every single day here.

You're lucky this place tolerates your ignorance. Personally, I love it. I can poke fun at you all I want.

"capitalism is founded on exploitation."

I love this place.......how enraged do you have to be in order to post stuff like that?

-Is it that if Americans stopped spending money on simple life luxuries, insurance CEOs can still afford their Christmas bonuses?

LOL...

-What are you doing?

pointing out a misleading headline? Actually Whatsleft did that...I just agreed.
