The Anonymous Widower

Harry Markopolos – 2

I bought the book from Waterstones yesterday and I have read the first few chapters on the train home from London.

Brilliant!

He spotted what Madoff was up to in 2000, but the SEC wouldn’t listen and took no action. He also alleges that others felt the same about Madoff, but were happy to take the money.

My respect for Harry grows.

Reading his book, just increases my distrust for financial advisers.  I think it is why I like Zopa.  There the money is under MY control and I live or fall by my decisions.  I know nothing about stocks and shares, so I keep clear of them.
