However, the other side that one has to look at in that scenario is the tax situation. If you are in an investment under 1 year, it's considered a short-term capital gain and that is taxed as ordinary income. Also, if a potential client's goals don't fit into the formula in which I work with my other clients then I generally won't take on a client. I think the client loses out. There are other people who can do that.
Smaller investors can contact brokerage firms or get a referral from a friend.
I don't think anyone would say no to that question. Yes, you can never count out volatility. In the next 10 years what the shape of the market will look like is really hard to determine. And I'd have to say that it's a hard thing to predict. Yes, because there are no other companies that have consistently strong growth like technology stocks.
