Out of curiosity, NASD, how long have you been in the business and how old were you when you started?
Must I explain everything to you, newbie? Now answer Broker Recruit's question.
I got registered when I was twenty six, and I retired with thirty five years of service.
I became a member of the President's club in my second full year and was in it for the balance of my time in production.
I was way too young to be truly effective--but I was well connected because of my college activities.
Nobody should consider this business until they're at least thirty-five unless there are other factors at work in your favor. The child of a rich family, the child of a well known local personality, a college sports star--that sort of thing.
If that's not there you're crazy to even try before you have credibility.
THAT IS VERY INERESTING NEWBE YOUR PROFILE SAYS YOUR WERE BORN IN 1978 SO YOU STARTED PRODUCING 7 YEARS BEFORE YOU WERE BORN? OR DID I MISS SOMETHING[quote=NASD Newbie][quote=hubbabubba]

why not leave the date out if your hiding from something, maybe you have ethics issues in your carrer too?

Did you note the birth date, month and day?
[quote=no idea]Dirk, is this the EIA that you sell? What's the company and product name?[/quote]
It has to be a VA; EIA's don't have M&E expenses. I AM curious as to what your b/d would say if you were selling it based on historical performance, though. And "Full Disclosure" includes your commission. Otherwise it's "Partial Disclosure".
Gottogo is, you heard it here first… ANONYMOUS!! I thought you weren’t posting on Nasd’s threads?
peanutbroker, I won’t respond to NASD, but I’ll still post in a thread. I am not Gottogo, but good guess.
I like your posts, but doesn’t mean I am a sucker…it is an obvious spoof. Anonymous = Gottogo
The one thing that you should notice from my threads is that I’m always honest.

Yep, and John Mark Karr is honest when he says he killed Jon Benet Ramsey.

I don't usually volunteer my commission because I disclose everything that they pay. If they ask, I tell them. It doesn't bother people. They want me to get paid. Just because YOU aren't worth what I make doesn't meant that I'm not.
What does "selling it based on historical performance" mean?
You're very touchy, Knuck. Take a deep breath and relax; I wasn't jabbing at you. If you'd like to pick a fight there are plenty of other guys, and a few gals, around here who'd be happy to take you up on it. I don't come here for brawls, I come here for information.
To answer your question: "Mr./Mrs. Client, this is definitely the product for you. Last year (last 3 years, last 5 years, last 10 years, etc.) it returned 27% to everyone who bought it from me."

Oh. I'm sorry. I see, now, that you were just trying to spread some good cheer. I'll get my B/D to call you, so we can satisfy your curiosity.

It's no problem, and I don't need to talk to your b/d about it. The bottom of every MF and VA prospectus spells it out pretty clearly.

Really? Did you know that MF's don't have to disclose trading costs? On average, it's more than 1%. The true costs of MS's in more in the 3-4% range. You knew that, already, I'm sure.

Your name says it all. It must be a drag that you can't compete with people like me. All I have to do is show people the performance and guarantees and it's a done deal.

Start making sense. I was curious about what your b/d would say about you selling based on past performance.
