An interesting response BEF.   Your self-confidence is noteworthy, but perhaps not fully justified.

The reason that the accountant accompanied the client to the initial meeting at Amex is simple - he is the nephew of the person that came into the money.  Otherwise, I agree that it is not a routine practice for a CPA to accompany clients to meetings.

I don't know whether he corrected the Amex guy at the time, but I do know he became concerned by the volume of misinformation that the broker communicated at the meeting. 

By the way, I got a 96 when I took the Series 7 in 2000.  I will go out on a limb and guess you think I'm making that up too based on your previous posts on that subject.

You appear to be a bright enough guy - do you think you are the only one in the United States?

There is an old line about two guys running from a lion who was going to kill one of them.  One screams at the other, "Can you out run a lion?" and the other guy says, "I don't have to, all I have to do is outrun you."

Am I the only bright person in the United States?  No, but I'm smarter than you.

As for your boast that you got 96 on the Series 7.  You're right I don't believe you.  I am aware of thousands of exam scores achieved over decades.  I have plotted NASD test scores on charts by education, gender, race, age, previous employment, time spent self-studying, cram course or not, anything that could be a variable in an attempt to find the perfect scenario.

There are too few very high scores to allow a reasonable person to conclude that those who achieve them find it productive to waste time on this forum.

So we can assume you scored quite low.

If you know what your Series 7 score is you are not a veteran of this business.  I am from the era where all we were told is that we passed or failed.

I passed.

Clearly this is Put.....

Of course it is.  The few feeble attempts to feign ignorance when accused, as well as the fixation about series seven test scores, convinced me sometime back that it is Put.  I just hope for his sake that he refrains from what got him booted the last time...

I'm not sure, but I think Blarmston called him out first...I was a little harder to convince, but I've since seen the light.  At any rate, as long as he behaves reasonably well, I don't mind the banter...

It's irrelevant whether or not you know your actual score.  The important point is that, according to your own logic, you are not capable of a high score.  I do have to give you credit, though.  It must be difficult for someone with an ego like yours to publicly admit they aren't too bright. 

You just need to pass.  I am proud I passed given that time of my life.  That day changed my life for the better.

Put, you might become a little bit more successful if you stop spending your time plotting test scores.
