Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How long do you expect to be working?

A: The short answer is "forever." When one is blessed with enjoying a "job" it becomes a passion. I can not imagine anything else I would rather be doing for the next 15-20 years than protecting our capital and seeking low-risk ways to make it grow.

Q: What happens if you should become permanently disabled?

A: Should I unexpectedly become permanently disabled, my executors, Candy & Schonwald, LLP, as well as the regional representatives of Schwab would promptly contact all of my clients to provide a smooth transition to the adviser or other investment decision-maker of my clients' choice.

I have identified 4 independent investment advisory firms that have a very similar investment process to mine. My executors will determine how to best utilize these firms to manage my personal financial assets when the time comes that I am unable to do so.

Q: What should I do if I am unable to reach you and I need help or information with respect to my account?

A: While I am usually available via phone, fax, e-mail, etc. any time, any day, any where in the country, I do occasionally take my wife on a cruise out of the country. During these times it might be more difficult for me to respond as promptly as we both want.
