Question No. 7:
I have my portfolio divided evenly between two brokers.
One is a bull, the other is a bear. What is the long-term outlook
for my investments to pay off bigtime?
About as good as the chances for a major political party to nominate a do-nothing, smirky, execution-loving son with a famous name as its presidential candidate.

We were unable to reach Milton Friedman for help with your request, but finally got an open line to the 7th circle of you-know-where. You’ll be happy to know that, between her daily forced recitations of Das Kapital, Ayn Rand applauds your faith in exploitative capitalism and wishes you the best. She also said to give her regards to Newt Gingrich the next time you see him.
Zilch, dummy! If you have your portfolio divided that way, it can only mean you have dollars supporting at least a few socially conscious corporations. Do you have any idea what that is doing to your karma, not to mention the value of your investments?
