GRAND RAPIDS, MI, September 23, 2015: Founder and President/CEO of Forest Hills Financial, Jaime Westenbarger posted a new blog on his website entitled, “The Value of Good Financial Advice,” where he focuses on recent volatility in the market to plead the case for real, live financial advisors.

Westenbarger has lots of questions. For starters, “When the DOW opened down 1,100 points on August 24^th, did your heart take a nosedive into your stomach? And if you’re one of those investors who have decided to save a few bucks and trust your investments to a robo-advisor, what kind of guidance or reassurance did you get from that advisor?” He continues, “Did you panic and sell out of the stock market fearing it would continue to plummet? If so, you weren’t alone.”

As Westenbarger makes very clear, “If you had a real financial advisor to talk you back from the ledge, you would have rallied later in the day just like the stock did. You would have saved a lot more than you lost.”

According to Westenbarger, “Nothing could more poignantly emphasize the value of a real, live human financial advisor better than this most recent event. Only a real advisor will keep you from selling at the worst possible moment.”
