So usually they will try to convince you it is better to cut the old stuff and head for something new. If you do so, remember to ask for part of their profit margin (usually a commission for bringing in new clients).<BR/><BR/>I agree that it is smart to have a closer look at ones finances every now and then, and to ask for ome expertise. But it was experts who put the financial market where it is now, it was bank experts who caused the crisis we are in, and you really need to be careful and wise choosing advisors.<BR/><BR/>Speaking of insurance, in Germany there are still two days left to change your car insurance policy for 2009, and usually youll get a discount even if you stay with your old insurance just by asking for a new tariff.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22910471.post-83143635390006512832008-11-28T10:47:00.000+01:002008-11-28T10:47:00.000+01:00Peter this is a wise article.

A good financial advisor will take the initiative to propose innovative ideas based on the funds you have available or show you ways to get the most from your tax returns etc. What I liked about our fin. ad, was he took the first initiative and arranged to meet with us as soon as the market crisis issue started. Showed us that he was thinking ahead for us. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for this!Meeta K. Wolffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05431777565420421364noreply@blogger.com
