A friend who is a personal asset manager at Goldman Sachs once said she would hire someone to manage her portfolio. I was surprised and asked why since she does this for a living. She said it is difficult to invest wisely when you’re emotionally involved. By coincidence SooJin Buzelli called with a story about investors feeling better prepared when they have an advisor. Since investing is an alien concept for many, what better metaphor than outer space? It also doesn’t hurt that outer space is fun to explore as an illustrator. Thanks to SooJin for the assignment and my friend for words of advice.
