bigjockstrap is a great handle...Hey, "bigjockstrap" is a great handle, but is there a great handle in that big jock strap? Or is it like wearing a 10 gallon hat on a 5 gallon head?
I agree with bigjockstrap, take charge, it's not the broker's money. I have the greatest of respect for my brokers and I deal in a very collaberative way with them but they know who has final say. I've bought or sold on their advice before where I did so simply to let them know I value their advice. I want them thinking with me and even for me at times, and I need to keep them always on my side. I know they take my advice for their personal accounts sometimes. It all works well enough.
One thing for sure, I take responsibility for every trade, whether a broker called it or I called it.
