How to test a "financial" advisor

[P.O.W.]

I once had some money to invest and I listened to all the gobbibly goop
about "wise" investing. and . I offered said advisor a deal on a Maple
Leaf gold coin. and she said no, Like I was going to be making money on
the deal. Well, she failed the test, like she really didn't want to see
me profit through my "investments"
Now, at $1000 + U.$. who is the wiser?

Remember when Gold was $250 an oz. Of course you adjust your portfolio
every year, and since you are adjusting every year, you should very have
little gold left right?.... Because you obviously made money 3 times over.
I mean you sound really smart so I would assume you have a diversified
portfolio that doesn't have all it's eggs in one basket like GOLD.

My money is on the said advisor.
