Online Investors are making a Comeback
By: Jason Cunningham
Many financial planners and advisors are
happy with the statements their clients have recently received. However they are
left wondering with the recent upturn in the market, are some of their clients
headed out the backdoor. In reality, are some of their current clients really
online investors who were sick of their losses over the last two years and
needed to have their hand held for a while.
The tumultuous times since March of
2000 have sparked anger and frustration on the part of many investors. For the
first time, some of the so called do it yourself investors began to seek
professional help, managing their portfolio. However with the recent surge in
the market, will some of these people be jumping ship? Are their financial
advisors going to be left standing at the altar. Will the " I do not need
attitude from the 1990's be soon returning. In good market times, people have a
tendency to forget about their woes and start doing high fives and believe they
can do no wrong.
Time will tell if the story comes true.
However, as interest rates have fallen like rain drops from sky; one has to
wonder if the online investor inside of most of us has a little more courage? We
will see if the sleeping online investor is back on the prowl.
