Submitted by Bernhardt Wealth Management on December 20th, 2010

In her recent article “Why do investors trust advisors but not Wall Street?” Susan Antilla explores the disconnect between investors who proclaim their distrust of the financial securities industry but exempt their financial advisors from that profound mistrust.
