Turning your money into life-changing wealth requires planning... for both success and failure. It also requires competent counsel - meaning somebody who will act in your best interests.
But finding the right advisor is tough, especially now with the markets at new all-time highs.
The Internet is filled with stories of predatory sales practices, manipulative management, and just plain incompetence. Chances are good you know somebody who's had a bad experience, just like I do.
It doesn't have to be that way, though.
There are great advisors out there if you know how to find them and which questions to ask to make sure you're on the right track for huge profits rather than devastating losses.
Start with the following - even if you're already working with somebody you trust.

Very well explained!! the art of investment and the role of an advisor in building wealth in the time horizons fixed by any investor is worth reading
Thank you for the kind words, Parveen!
The relationship can be complicated but doesn't have to be. Many advisors, unfortunately, forget that they work for their clients – not the other way around.
Best regards and thanks for being a part of the Money Morning Family, Keith :-)
