It’s really troubling to see an advisor with over four decades in the business still have unresolved concerns about his conduct. Long tenure shouldn’t be a shield it should mean accountability and I don’t see enough of that here. That’s a huge red flag for me
4/5
I feel disappointed and frankly irritated by the lack of transparency in his professional narrative If someone has had customer disputes or regulatory actions, I want them out in the open not glossed over or buried in marketing talk. That kind of opacity makes me mistrust his entire practice
