Shaking hands or giving a "word" has never helped me recover from a bad deal or kept me from making an uneducated decision. I'll shake your hand, I will also scrutinize a deal every way from Sunday to make sure you aren't screwing me. My "word" is in the funds I deliver once I know the deal is solid. This is not True Grit. This is a modern world and a lot of money at stake and a lot of folks who want to take it from you.
