If you really knew what all your financial advisor does, you probably wouldn't agree that it is worth the potential 100s of thousands of dollars you pay him.
Pretty sure his comments were more about how you inferred advisors are sneaky and slimey... leading me to believe you had a bad experience with one person, or are just completely misinformed on the subject. Saying "I'm an advisor" is about as descriptive as "I drive a car." There are some out there that operate as you describe, but there are also a whole lot that don't. Again, speaking about an "advisor" really means very little and gives no one any special credibility... though that Diablo guy seems to be quite happy coming in here and telling everyone his 'title'.
