We’re talking about a theme or some research that is as valuable now, as when we published it the first time. And yet, it contains knowledge that is still not well-appreciated in the present. In this case we’re talking about the delusional nature of financial advisor expertise. Come to understand how limited so-called “financial advisors” really are.
