    Bunny Ranch owner takes 50% of all money paid to prostitutes. I'd say that's a pretty good investment.

    Just make sure your advisor is not on commission.

    Yeah, I'm not jumping into anything yet. I want to talk to multi people/firms. Stocks, bonds, ect I'm not really sound on. A lot to learn.

    that bad??? and I thought you guys were lucky with weapons !!!!! is it because its an automatic rifle? or because of the caliber? like we have ranges for handguns and non mil calibers (.32, .38, .45 , .40 , .357 and even .50 ) but nothing for calibers deemed "military" (5.56, 7.62 etc)

    over here u can get a permit to carry a gun (actually a gun and a rifle)... but you are not allowed to buy guns ... there are no gun shops and its illegal to deal in weapons !!!! go figure woaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

    No, we have gun shops but they are selling pistols and all kind of hunting guns..
    Bro.. Do anything in Jordan , but if u get caught with an automatic machine guns then that's pretty much of it.. You are screwed, and for a long long time..
    If u do a problem , then u ll go to the court..a normal one.
    If u get caught with a machine gun u ll go to a military court, after being investigated by the secret intelligence.. And may be u ll get welcomed for few days by the anti terrorist dept and Their hospitality is famous

    For AKs and sub machine guns, no one really cares...the general line is " I have it from the war days or its a gift from my late grandfather hehehe...dont ask me how this works for a new gun like the FN P90 for example but it does :P

    Mutual funds in my Roth IRA.

    Why shouldn't a Financial Advisor get paid? I know a guy that will knock my teeth out for free but I'd rather pay a dentist to do it right.

    I have to kinda agree. I would rather have an advisor get paid on the performance of the mutual funds or stocks than one that gets a flat rate. They should get paid by the performance. That way, if what the recommend me buying tanks, they don't get shit. It encourages them to do good for you.
