In the past two years, brokers and financial advisers sold nearly $1 trillion in debt and equity that doesn't bounce up and down with the whims of the market. Sounds good—but can turn out badly, says jasonzweigwsj.

Over the past two years, bonds have lost almost 15% and stocks have barely gained 5%, whipsawing investors along the way. That’s what markets do.

As a result, financial firms are pile-driving their clients into assets that have no market. Over the past two years, investors bought an astonishing $878.9 billion in so-called Regulation D private offerings of debt and equity that don’t trade, according to SLCG Economic Consulting, a research firm in McLean, Va.
