This is the correct answer. Selling "advice" and managing portfolios is by far the easiest legal way to make money on the markets.

There was a newsworthy situation in the UK a couple of years ago where a star manager crashed and burned. He locked his trading account, with everyone's money still in it, and continued charging fees.

Apparently this is quite legal.
