Why haven't I heard about Alternative Investing?

Wall Street broker dealers, money managers and retirement plan providers are compensated by selling only those investments and investment products offered by their firms - stocks, bonds and mutual funds. Consequently, they have a vested financial interest not to discuss alternative investment assets and alternative investing opportunities.

Additionally, many accounting, legal and financial planning professionals remain unaware of the many alternative investing opportunities currently available to their clients.
