I’m interviewing with NWM and I’m excited about the opportunity. However, coming from commodities I can’t help but wonder how things will differ in terms of excitement. Sales is sales and the excitement of landing a big deal is there, but the day to day trading and following the markets that I do as a retail commodities broker would (it seems) disappear. I know that as a Financial Advisor I can and will sell investments, but I don’t imagine that it will be the same.



How much excitement do you guys have in your day to day work as FAs? When the market makes a big move, how does it affect your (long term) investments?
