They are calling me too. Fisher Investments. One way to get even is to Google them and click on their pay per click ads 20 times. Then send them an email letting them know that if they don't take your number off the list you are going to keep on clicking and invite your twitter and facebook friends to do the same. Enjoy!
I, too, called and asked for a brochure on investing mistakes. I got a huge package including an inexpensive pair of binoculars. Thanks for the information on their tactics - I will try to ignore them.
A day or 2 ago I followed a link from the Forbes website and downloaded Fisher's stock market outlook. In order to download the material you were required to fill out a form with your email and phone #. I received an email immediately and now a phone call.
If what everyone says about Fisher Investments is true, then Forbes really needs to do a better job screening who they sell ad space to.
