[quote=Spaceman Spiff]And if you ran a MCD franchise you couldn’t sell Whoppers. 

  I would disagree with you that the P&L system ensures that you were not likely to make a profit.  It is what it is.  It's not like they keep adding things to it the closer you get to profitability.  Is it difficult to finally push yourself past becoming bonus eligible?  Yep.  But, Jones doesn't change the system to make it difficult for you.   I've never had Jones tell me I had to liquidate someone's investments.  I've had suitability wires for people who own a bunch of one stock before.  But they didn't make me sell anything.  I don't believe they have the ability to do so.  I've also never had them question any trades outside the preferred funds.  If we have a selling agreement, we can sell it.  I can sell all Calamos funds if I think it's appropriate for my client.    I agree with you on the meetings.  I despise having a meeting for the sake of having a meeting.  But every meeting I've been to at Jones I've learned something that has bettered my business.  Except for the call sessions.  I've not learned much from those other than I have horrible call reluctance.  It's a wonder I survive them.     [/quote] Horrible analogy Spiff you can do better......I guarantee a call from your RL if all you sell is Calamos....

Why?  Because I’m not contributing to the revenue sharing pie?  Or because you believe Calamos to be a fund not on par with the preferreds? 

  I'll work on my alalogies for the next time.
