I visited my son Braden in Barcelona earlier this year. I saw a soccer match—Barcelona vs. Madrid.

The first thing I noticed? No alcohol in the stadium. None.

In the U.S., we can't imagine a baseball or football game without a beer. But over there, they’re so passionate (and a little crazy) that they had to cut it off to keep people from throwing bottles at the visitor bus.

It made me think about how much we value choice here in the States. Our kids have 15 sports to choose from; Europeans have one. Our investors have 1,000 ways to build a portfolio; other places are limited.

Choice is a luxury. But choice without a "coach" to help you pick the right one is just noise.

Glad to be back in the land of choices (and beer at ballgames). If you’re feeling overwhelmed by your financial choices, give me a shout.
