BUT, Fairfax say:

"Brokers firms' connections can also help them offer up potentially juicy new investment opportunities."
and
"For most people, a full-service broker is almost certainly worth paying for. As Edmond says: "You only need to save one disaster, and you're going to pay for that advice for a long time.""
You mean that you can't trust what you read in the media?????
Really, with friends like Goldman Sachs, who needs enemies?
