Hi Jonathan,It's always possible to run in to some bad apples, but I think the majority (and then some) of the investors you are likely to meet are and will be honest and forthright with you.That being said, definitely have an agreement signed between the two of you as to what each of your responsibilities are and how costs/profits are to be split.

If its YOU, your shooting yourself in the foot to NOT fix it(free besides) and reward they with a shiny red apple for calling you.

As for your argument, what would you do if you found out that Osama Bin Laden owned 100 shares of Microsoft and 100 shares of Apple?

You appear to be talking apples and oranges in your example.

Apple always has been and always will be the best computer hardware and software developers.

Josh - are Apple sponsoring BP?

Has anyone heard of or have experience with this program?

Thanks

‘Guru’ isn’t as commonly used and has more or less been bastardized by some unscrupulous marketers.In a perfect world I would say the difference between Gurus and Experts would be that Gurus aren’t only experts but they take the extra steps to take their systems, methods, and experience and form a course to instill the investor ability in others in a more comprehensive and organized fashion.It’s the nature of profit and opportunity that brings out the bad apples who taint the well and it makes it a little harder to separate the good gurus from pseudo-gurus so renowned experts have to market in different ways (if they know what’s good for them) to sidestep that image.

It's true that 110 / 100 = 110%, but clearly the ROI was 10%.Since most investments assume at least an annual compounding, we should do likewise in "annualizing" our ROI, to give us a decent apples-to-apples.
