2 /5 Scott Perry: Deceptive commissions . Brookstone charged me an advisory fee (commission) on the cash portion of my investment portfolio. This is not standard for the industry and in my opinion bad business. The money sitting in a money market reserve fund in my fidelity account that i had given them to manage , was targeted to be used for government bonds purchase at a later date but clearly sitting in cash. This continued month after month until i stopping doing business with them.
