I am the Armstrong in Armstrong Financial Strategies. We are a Registered Investment Advisor and operate on a fee only basis. As Registered Investment Advisors we are bound by law to act in a fiduciary capacity.
While having a fee only practice works for me and suits my style I also understand that some people prefer to deal with advisors who accept commissions.
There is a quote attributable to Shaw that I am trying to remember, Basically when it comes to matters of finance buffoons can come through as men of knowledge. In other words, take everything that you read with a grain of salt.
