Searching for private investor clients. Who should I target?
I'm building my private investors marketing list. 

I started with Dentists. (I know enough of them with investments and I figure the dentists who didn't get into it for their parents got into it for the money.) Although, after building out the list a bit and looking at their holdings on the registry, I've concluded that dentists probably aren't the promising population that I thought they were. 

What profession or industry would you focus on?
