Hi, I'm Matt Weinstein from mattweinsteinteam.com and also playfair.com so my financial advisor turned out to be a crook. And a really, really good friend of mine, who was the guy that knows the most about money in my experience, came to me and said, I feel so badly for you. I've been in this fund for. For over 23 years. My father was in it before then. It is so rock solid. I'm gonna give you a chance to get into this fund. And he really made space, which was very hard to get into, in a fund that we just felt so grateful for him and pushed all the money in. And it turns out that that fund was run by Bernie Madoff. So we lost everything completely. And I would say, what was the biggest mistake? Cause there was no way to tell. Even doing due diligence, the SEC had given him a clean bill of health. I had knew many, many people invested with him. The biggest mistake was you have to diversify. You can't. No matter how good something looks, you can't put all your money in one place. That is insane. If you have it there, take it out. Don't put all your money in one place.
