all advice has to be paid for somehow, was the point, even if the cost is hidden.
Commission may not be an appropriate way of rewarding financial advisors, but it might not be the worst way in every situation either.
Presumably plenty of FAs will spend days doing work for which they receive no reward whatsoever.
