The market will take a major dump today at 2:17pm. If I were you boneheads ( which thank god i’m not ) i would be trying to hold on rather that getting all would up by my post. I just tell it like it is and you can’t handle it. Here is how it is …one more time for those of you that are a little slow.
You business is toast…wealthy clients are going to Schwab and Fidelity. The cash on the sidelines will not come in to the mkt. it will be used to pay bills. As I said again you will be living off of a smaller client base with a lower payout. Good luck with your night jobs Losers

  Quoting it in case you erase.
Nov 4, 2009 1:53 pm

I will wait eagerly for your predicition(what time time zone was that in Eastern or CRAZY)… Also why would clients who claim not to get service flock to two places with 1-800 #s? Not a lot of logic with your post today.

[quote=meletio] Right after the fed meeting. If they change the tone the dollar rallies stocks fall. If they don’t then there is a feeling that the recovery is very enemic and stocks fall. They are trapped.Either way I have a little long in case and more on the short side. traded the shorts three times yesterday. ( in hindsight I should have bough SH instead of SDS… the non leveraged ones are a little less scary

Like I said, I wish I was a little longer so that I could get more short ones.

Meletio tries to help you all (which I think you are all beyond helping) and all you an do is make up names and post that he’s a pedophile?



Maybe if you people would stop being so thin-skinned, and listened to what he’s saying you wouldn’t be losing your clients’ money.

Value is doing it on you own with the same results or better with 1/3 of the cost. Plus I personally use Schwab and in the rare case I need help I have a local  yes local rep. I think you confusing series 7 advisors at the discount firms with HP help desk in India,. You can’t outsource someone that has to be registered with the NASD or SEC

  Really? That is awesome..  The biggest issue with investing is controlling emotions, not the investments. Not sure how a 1-800# accomplishes that

Then become a psychiatrist.  My guess is medical school would be too tough. 

The biggest issue in investing is that there are so many people who become "professionals" and then really don't know the first thing about investing. 

Investors would likely outperform if they didn't listen to those who make them "broker".

[quote=meletio] wrong, that’s just what you branch manager tells you to justify the shtty performance. The hand holding only works for so long. Clients eventually look at the fees they are paying for the lack of returns.nice try though

However, they cannot engage in securities transactions for U.S. citizens, residents or nationals.



But you CAN outsource them.

Nov 4, 2009 3:09 pm

[quote=meletio] I stand corrected. Only they are not for US citizens

In what capacity may a foreign finder act on behalf of a member firm?





Foreign finders are not considered as associated persons of a

member. The sole involvement of a foreign finder in the business of a

member firm is the initial referral of non-U.S. customers to the firm.

[/quote]



I will stand corrected with forever WET BLANKET. Mmmm mmmm! You can be my foreign finder any day. And be associated with my member, whether you are U.S. or non U.S.
Nov 4, 2009 4:00 pm
meletio:

wrong…no such thing

    Muwahahahaha...and NASD is now known as FINRA.  I suggest you know what you are talking about before getting into an argument.   Foreign Associates work for U.S. B/Ds in foreign offices.  They can't interact with US Citizens or US Residents, only Non-US.  They aren't licensed by FINRA.   However, U.S. B/Ds can have Foreign members licensed with FINRA who do interact with US Citizens or Residents.   And U.S B/Ds can have "Foreign Finders" who act as a solicitor for foreign business - who are only compensated by the B/D, but not employed or associated with them.   So yes.  Technically, you can "outsource" a licensed position.  But of course the company would call it "in-sourcing" since that person is a member of the company, but working out of a foreign branch (off-shoring).
Nov 4, 2009 4:02 pm

In case it wasn’t painfully obvious in the previous post, there are 3 levels of “foreign participation.”

  Something tells me that whatever you want me to find, or do to you, won't be a foreign experience to you - but probably a foreign object.

Read SEC - FR Doc E9 - 2020. Foreign associates may be registered in the United States and may operate as registered representatives for the United States. It was mainly so that Canadian and British registered individuals could operate, but it is all-encompassing.

Nov 4, 2009 4:34 pm

http://www.finra.org/web/groups/industry/@ip/@reg/@notice/documents/notices/p003666.pdf

Level 1: Foreign Finder - not associated, not a member, acts to solicit non-US citizens and non-residents.   Level 2: Foreign Associate - associated and registered with FINRA, can not interact with US Citizens and Residents.   Level 3: Foreign Member - registered with FINRA, can interact with US Citizens and Residents.

I sure would hate to have any of you retards managing my money. In the past week this board has gone from talking about investments and building businesses to talking about Meletio. Do you guys all have ADHD because every single piker on this board has completely lost their focus or reason for being here. I thought this was for professionals. You guys are so interested in me that you have taken your focus completely in another direction. Don’t feel too bad, my 11 year son does the same thing. by the way…

Meletio, seriously. You've stated previously (even though you modified your post) that you are a failed FA. To paraphrase you, "I lost all my clients money, so I quit."

I read this forum to gain insight from those who actually know something. Shania, mlgone, Squash1, Ferris, Ageman, etc. They actually know what they're talking about, and when they’re not wasting time making you look foolish, they post info that is meaningful to those of us who are interested.

You've proven you're a doorknob. You've made 3 predictions that were atrocious. You serve no purpose and are making a fool of yourself.

Please stop, and run along now…

7. you could engage in a conversation with your 6 other reg. rep id’s

I appreciate your ideas. while they all make a lot of sense as an alternative to going to the beach, I would prefer just to bend your mom over the table while your wife films it. And
then switch they can both enjoy

There’s plenty of unit trust coming due ready to churn. only 12 business days left in the month…You gotta cover your draw.the holes getting deeper. Get ready to brush up on those RMD scripts and get those 2000 ira’s in a B share.

Go back about a year and a half…Guess what, those economist were the same ones who spoke of all the growth and wealth creation  before the economy crashed. How can you say they are the best at anything when about 99.9 % of them were so wrong it’s not even funny. But again, I understand…you are a puppet on a string  of your upper management who has brainwashed you into believing that all the gurus at your firm are the best. Definition of best usually means they get it right.

Mel,
I have a real job. I make a lot of money. I have great clients whom I have built great multi-generational relationships with. They have done well in the last decade because I have been there.
I don’t just manage a portfolio and make stock or fund picks all day long. I don’t pontificate on the economy. I am a consultant. I solve problems for a living. People give me information on their finances, their lives, etc. I work with them on how to best invest and behave financially to meet their goals. It’s challenging, stimulating, and rewarding.
I could give a crap about what you are day-trading. It has no bearing on me, or anyone else on these boards who is a real FA.
I see clones of you pass through my branch every 6 months. We have
muffins in the kitchen that are there longer than some of these fools.
You failed as an FA because you failed to grasp the concepts above. You were just another douche who lacked the single most important trait that an FA needs to be good at his job, HUMILITY.
The ability to recognize that it isn’t about gangbusters performance, or being smarter than the market, that being a good FA is about understanding people, relating to them, and translating complex terms into simple ones so that they can understand how you are going to help them accomplish their goals.
