I am irritated with my stock broker at the moment. He initially told me that if I were to start investing with him that most of my money would be put to work immediately to start earning. Well, when I received my first statement all the money that I gave him was not accounted for in my new stocks. He claimed that there were a lot of administrative fees that come with every fund I invest in. If that is true then how come on the basic research that I did I found that the best vanguard funds on the market have very little if any fees involved for administrative services?
