I'm sure some of us have watched this, but I think this documentary shows the financial institutions' destruction of our pension funds by their charges, and how we are being misled or mis-sold products, especially when he talks about the legal kickbacks. I.E. commission is a warning/advice about charges and how the financial industry lobbied against certain changes in the law, to the detriment of us.
BEWARE OF THE CHARGES should be our mantra. Anyway, if you haven't seen it, enjoy it or if anyone has questions about fees. BTW Boggle shows the damage fees can do and you will also see how some of the other companies do squirm a little bit.

Thanks.
I had a little look but couldn't find it in the thread. Anyway, I will leave the link here as it might be easier to find that by searching through the whole thread.

Good idea. I watched this one a year or two ago. It was decent.
