This is not a wild new concept: I'm sure you've heard the terms "guilt culture" and "shame culture" before.So whenever you feel embarrassed, suspect you're being manipulated, perhaps even unconsciously, by other people and your own feelings and the ideas this society had tried to brainwash you with to keep you in line.

That cultural desire expresses itself in incredibly powerful ways.

Personally, Integrity, Track record, Conservative culture, and Interests alignment are key when selecting a firm to invest with.You NEED to feel great about investing with a certain company, you need to feel that you can actually trust them and sleep well at night knowing that not only do you believe in the product you invested in, but the people behind it.
