Investors have many options when managing their portfolios, from the complete do-it-yourself approach of eTrade to full service broker, who consults, advises, and then manages transactions for you.

And there are risks to the do-it-yourself approach – as Jeff Boles points out, there are so many options, trying to select the right one is a challenge. And when it comes to Disaster Recovery, I believe it is not a mistake you can afford to make.
