1. I don't mean to offend anyone. If I do, I'm sorry.

2. I thought I might shoot down one of my prejudices: Why exactly does anyone trust a person to give him financial advice on investing money? If the person knew anything reliable about that, why would he not make his money by investing?

In my SR games such advisors have a reputation nearing that of a televangelist because of bad precedent. That is, they have some fanatical believers, but anyone with half a brain despises them.

(Hey, I once revered Kostolany myself. Well, I was fourteen years old, and Kostolany's writing motivation was not likely royalties.)

3. Again, no offense intended.
