A Letter from
Phil
06.15.2009
During the 22
years I have spent as a
financial consultant here in
Rochester. The single greatest
deterrent to rational investor
behavior is the 24 hour a day
cable news cycle.
It is not so much that the media
are unhelpful to investors
seeking to maintain their
perspective. Rather in every
thought, word and deed the media
seem single-mindedly determined
to stamp perspective out.
At such times, an experienced
advisor with an adult memory, a
sense of the economic/market
cycle and the conviction that
this time isn’t different may be
the investor’s only practical
refuge. Consider the possibility
that the highest and best
function of an investment
advisor isn’t economic
commentary or market
prognostication, but simply in
saving his clients from the
media…and from themselves.
I help people manage money by
consolidating their holdings
into one brokerage account. Then
through planning and education,
instill a mindset.
That mindset is the foundation
in attaining their long term
goals. My clients know what they
own. Why they own it and the
costs to own it. My practice is
based on simplicity and long
term relationships.
If this is the way you would
like to manage your investments.
I look forward to hearing from
you in the near future.
Kind regards.
Phil Colby
