Finding someone that can truly help you is difficult sometimes, simply because there are so many options to choose from. The Internet is full of so-called experts that can help you make wise investments and financial decisions, but how do you know whom you can really trust?

- Experience counts – although everyone has to start somewhere, there is definitely something to be said for an investment advisor with real experience.
