Greg, do you feel the same way about fee only financial planners/advisers? You know, it may just be me hoping and wishing for the best in the world but I've got to think there has to be people out there who truly and honestly want to help people with their investments while also making a living not a killing like this guy was. I've always heard that fee only people are safest because they only make money upfront when you meet with them. They don't get any percentage of your gains so there's no ulterior motive to their advice.



Trey ---


One night (after all his troubles were aired on TV and in the news) -- Rhodes got seriously plastered - he went for a walk and fell down and hit his head on a manhole cover... he stumbled to a random neighbor and reported that he'd been shot. He said "Greg Weld drove by and shot me". I hated him -- he and everyone else in his world knew I hated him - he was not only a schmuck stealing lying POS -- he didn't know anything about cars or Corvettes and the NCRS made the bastard President of the local chapter (I quit that day!). I'm not joking here!! That (that he'd been shot) was, of course, reported to the police - he was taken to the hospital to get stitches --- and oh hell yeah -- the cops were calling me!

So the detective calls and starts to tell me why he's calling and that I'm a "suspect" in the case. So when he was finished... I said to him (not joking here either) that had I shot Wesley C. Rhodes that he'd be deader than a effin' doornail! And that yes - absolutely I'd love to kill the lying sniveling bastard - but I was in Seattle - as the detective knew since he'd called me... and I didn't shoot him even though I'd love to, given half a chance!

The cop started to laugh at this -- because - as usual, I was rather "direct".... and he says --- "well... we're well aware of Mr. Rhodes "issues" and I've seen lots of bullet wounds and this was no bullet wound... that it was pretty obvious that he fell and hit his head on something". He said he had to call me as part of the case but that I needn't worry about being arrested any time soon. LOL
