A brilliant businessman (as he and his Trumpsters claim).
Your money will be sacred and safe and returns assured.

T-R-U-U-U-U-U-S-T me!

They'll have millions of $1,000.00 accounts stagnating and clogging up their records with no reasonable hope they'll be expanded by additional investments. Then, throw in the Dell distribution, and the numbers will be even worse. Their computers will be smoking trying to calculate and report the results.
