We often meet people who have the investment question in their mind, should I continue to invest on my own and  unassisted or should I seek out the experience of an investment adviser?

I.  Many do-it-yourself investors can find investing challenging as to investment choices, asset allocations, market volatility and time consuming for long-term retirement and non-retirement account growth.  For the protection and growth of your retirement, family's needs, inheritance investing, or income needs it is vital to have a plan that includes experience and understanding of how the markets react to the US economcy, Federal Reserve, and other major influences. 

The reason we say this is because investing is very personal and people can relate it to paying their bills, researching and purchasing a new washing machine or car, or budgeting the family's finances.  However, the stark reality is that investing involves a great deal of knowledge and experience to protect and grow for income you will need in future years.
