I used to work in the finance & investing industry before doing a startup. The slimy, misleading marketing proliferating itself everywhere is absolutely ridiculous. They're even pretentious enough to call their fees and back loaded funds "products". If you've ever seen the movie Boiler Room, my second finance job was similar. My third finance job had similarities to Barbarians at the Gate (on a much lower scale) and the classic tulip bulb story: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulip_mania http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulip_mania Strange world is the finance.
