Finance in the Time of Prohibition: pros versus DIY
I don't like how my financial portfolio looks. It's unbalanced, undiversified, and currently cash-heavy when considering predicted online poker shrinkage.
Here's the question: Should I hire a pro? Are financial advisors actually worthwhile? How do I go about finding the right pro?
Alternatively, should I handle my finances myself? This will require a significant investment in learning (which I am willing to make). But I don't know where to start or what to read, specifically. I have a business degree so I'm familiar with the basics of personal finance but personal finance is an area where it's incredibly hard to tell good advice from bad if you don't already know a lot. What should I read?
