Hedge fund managers.

Ugh, one of those fuckers ripped me off.
Was at my bank, and they sold me on listening to a guy who managed PIMCO bond accounts. I've never gone into stocks b/c I'm risk-averse, but he showed me how over the past 30 years, only one year did the bond fund lose money, and it was only 2%. It never gained more than like 6 or 8% either, but like I said...risk-averse, that's fine as long as it's not going down.
So of course, within a few months of starting it, the bond fund fucking tanked. >_<
What really pissed me off was...he'd seldom answer his phone and when he did, about a week into the route, I asked if there was any way out of the fund before the 1 year minimum w/o paying a penalty fee, and he said no.
After another week and ANOTHER $1500 dollars lost, he finally admitted I could transfer it to a PIMCO money market account and make 0.05% interest but not have any chance of more losses and avoid the penalty fee, so I did that. I feel like it should be illegal for him to have outright lied to me about my money management options (but it'd be hard to prove based off of phone calls I didn't record, so..).

I liked that bank, but after that I was so pissed off that I moved all of my money out of there and I'm never going back.
