I have had an account with Wedbush Securities in Glendale since 1999. However, I have been so busy with my wholesale grocery business that I never took the time to really talk to a broker about growing my account.
Then about 3 years ago I spoke with Charles "Chuck" Whiting a broker at this location. Already in just this short time he has guided me into investments that have increased the value of my account by 40%! I am stunned! I can only imagine how much more this account would be worth if I had availed myself of Chuck's genius beginning in 1999.
For one thing, he probably would have steered me around the "tech wreck" stock crash in 2001. After that I gave up on my self directing my investments. And I was fearful of investing in equities. I just left my account in tax free municipal bonds and treasury bonds.
Chuck is a broker with 53 years experience who really knows what he is doing. I wouldn't trade his experience and wisdom for any of the hotshot, younger brokers that are constantly trying to sign me onto their brokerage. Chuck is honest, smart, and knows how to find investments that I am comfortable with and helps to minimize the risks.
An ounce of experience is worth a pound of youthful aggression. If it has happened in the market Chuck has seen it.
Keep in mind, this isn't a "discount brokerage," commissions are higher but you get what you pay for, Charles Schwab wouldn't have helped like Chuck and Wedbush Securities have. read more
