Financial Advice or Financial Quackery?

How can you tell whether financial advice you receive is real financial advice or financial quackery?

Much of what happens in the financial industry is financial quackery, but because the common methods are familiar to most of us, they appear normal. 

You can’t really see how inadequate and funny many financial procedures are until you compare them to other fields.

“Quackery” is a fun word that normally refers to medicine. It is a type of health fraud that promotes products and services that have questionable and unproven scientific bases.

In my latest podcast episode you’ll learn:

• What is financial quackery?

• Why is it a major problem for Canadians?

• How can it ruin your retirement plan?

• What is “risk” in financial planning?

• How can you make informed decisions about your risk tolerance AND your goal?

If you’ve ever been handed a generic investment recommendation after a fifteen-minute chat and a “risk tolerance questionnaire,” you may have met a financial quack. 

Just like in medicine, real advice requires a proper diagnosis—and skipping that step can be costly.
