Anybody done one? I'm thinking of applying for one, but, as usual, the guidelines have contradictory information. For this shop, you're supposed to make close to half a million/year and have a boatload of money to invest. OK, I can role play that. But further on, the guidelines state to say you have a money-market account with 4 to 6 months of living expenses and an IRA with around $250k in it--and
no other investments.
So where is all this money you have to immediately invest? In your savings account? (Ridiculous; nobody keeps millions of dollars in a regular old savings account.) I guess you could say you have CDs maturing now.... But, again, somebody with that much $$ must have some investment products other than a $250k IRA.
And you're also supposed to say you're not familiar with investment products. How on earth would someone amass the amount of $$ you're supposed to have to invest without being familiar with investment products? If you have an investment advisor, of course you don't need to be an expert, but you would have some knowledge of what your money was in--stocks, bonds, mutual funds, etc.
Would love to do this shop, but am concerned about this scenario. If anyone's successfully completed one, feedback is greatly appreciated!
