Should You Work With A Financial Professional? This article was written by Edward Jones for use by Elly Dalton Financial Advisor
When you make investment decisions, you’ve got a lot of factors to evaluate: corporate earnings, economic climate, interest rates, oil prices and so on. Navigating the investment world can seem like a daunting task if you’re going it alone. Make it easier on yourself and get the help you need. When you work with a financial professional, you can become a better investor. Consider the following highlights of a 2004 survey of investors by the research firm of Mathew Greenwald & Associates Inc. Investors who use a financial professional: Are about 50 percent more likely than investors without financial professionals to say they are doing a very good job managing their investments Are more likely to have a plan of action than investors without a plan Are less likely to go more than 18 months without “rebalancing” their portfolios (in response to changes in their personal situation or the financial markets) These are just the findings of one study - but many others also confirm the importance of getting financial guidance. And there are some good reasons behind these results. A financial professional can help you quantify your goals. You might know that you want to retire at age 60, buy a vacation home and spend your time pursuing your hobbies, but do you know how much retirement income you’ll need to attain this lifestyle? And do you know what sort of return you’ll require from your investments to make it possible? A qualified financial professional has the tools and expertise to help you answer these and other key questions. And if you wanted to explore several different retirement possibilities, your financial pro-
Elly Dalton
fessional could also illustrate what you’d need to do, and how you’d need to invest, to achieve these alternative outcomes. Once a financial professional is familiar with your needs, risk tolerance and time horizon, he or she can help customize an investment portfolio for you. And through regular reviews, your financial professional can help you achieve long-term success. Financial professionals stay current on changing tax laws and investment rules and this knowledge can pay off for you. For example, you might not have known that IRA and 401(k) contribution limits went up in 2005 - but your financial professional did. Finding the right professional It can be to your advantage to use a financial professional. But how do you find the right one? Here are some questions to ask of candidates: What are your credentials? Make sure a prospective financial professional has the appropriate securities licenses. How do you get paid? Financial professional get paid through fees or commissions, or a combination of both. One way isn’t necessarily “better” than another, but it’s important for you to know the system of compensation being used. How will you communicate with me? Find out when you’ll receive statements and how often you’ll meet in person to review your portfolio. What is your investment philosophy? Different financial professional have different ways of approaching the investment process. You will need to find someone whose philosophy feels like a good fit for you. Finding the right financial professional for your needs can take some time - but it’s worth the effort.

Heartworm Facts! Save Your Pet! 1. The mosquito is the only known vector for transmitting heartworm.
2. The average lifespan of heartworms in untreated pets is 5-7 years in dogs and 2-3 years in cats. 3. Virtually 100% of dogs exposed to infective heartworm larvae become infected; in cats, this number drops to 61% to 90%. 4. Microfilariae are found in the blood of 80%-90% of dogs, while only 20% of cats have these in their blood. We can help find you and a pet a home!
5. Heartworm infection in cats exists everywhere heartworm in dogs exists.
6. The American Heartworm Society (AHS) estimates that only 55% of dogs in the U.S. are currently on a heartworm preventive, leaving 27 million dogs at risk of acquiring heartworm disease. 7. A study performed at North Carolina State University indicated that 25% of cats infected with heartworms were solely indoor cats. 8. Prevention is far more effective and less costly than treatment. 9. Research suggests that heartworm disease could be virtually eradicated using available preventives.
10. Heartworms affect cats differently than dogs, but the disease they cause is equally as serious.
