A study commissioned by mutual fund manager Vanguard, the 9-million-pound gorilla of low-cost investing, determined that investors who used a financial advisor typically outperformed their DIY peers by about 3% over a seven-year period. #-ad_banner-#Is this a gigantic margin? No. But it’s significant enough to notice and discuss.  While my discussion of the merits of using an advisor is blatantly biased (I’ve been in the trenches as an financial advisor for over 20 years), I would venture a guess that I am qualified to talk about relevant questions to ask during an initial meeting.

Investors are right to be concerned about this new threat. After all, when a trade war is allowed to continue unchecked, the most likely impact is negative for virtually all involved parties. #-ad_banner-#But I just recently told readers of my Game-Changing Stocks advisory that it’s still crucial for us to keep up with new developments — regulatory or scientific — that could define or impact the future of many industries. One important development that many investors likely missed is the new guidance on gene therapy (GT) that was released July 11.
