Cindy had an elderly aunt who had this happen. Had a nice portfolio of treasuries. Talking with other residents of the rest home, she decided she wanted to get in the market...this was as the high tech bull was making it's peak, late 1990's.
So she called a broker in the family...he put her all in high tech.
She asked for it, but I always thought this guy should have shown some responsibility, considering her age and situation. Gawd, she was family!
