    finally did it....

    Why am I not suprised you still troll these boards, I mean you must be soooo busy with your hot shot MBA and big gig on Wall St. Addiction to german cars refers to the C63 I purchased last year which lead to me buying a mint '97 911 targa a month ago. Not a representation of how much I can...

    Your thoughts on the economy picking up....

    financial markets will pull the economy out of this...good ole stock market predicting a recovery will create one. Consumer spending will be slow to pick up keeping inflation in check "for now". I am actually a financial advisor and and using a balanced mix of dividend paying stocks (reinvesting...

    finally did it....

    Wow it is has been a while since I last updated! Really do not even know where to start...well shortly after I was licensed and out and about creating clients the market decided to make things interesting to say the least. I still have a job, I work for probably the only firm that managed their...

    How much did you spend of flight training?

    04-06 zero time to MEI around 29-30k for everything. Made about 10k of that back instructing...all at a state university. Not bad considering some of these stories.

    "Great" cockpit talk..

    just after a completely rotten fart, start freaking out asking the FO if he smells that "smoke". It should get them sniffing real hard and eventually a good healthy whiff of methane.

    finally did it....

    I apologize for the ranting; Im not an angry person just cant stand pure ignorance/stupidity whatever the case may be. Pimpjuice has obviously seen wall street the movie a few too many times to understand how real life works, but if he goes to make a bazillion dollars in a few years good for...

    finally did it....

    lets be clear here, without the retail business YOU WOULD NEVER HAVE A JOB. I wonder what sparks the institutional side of things...couldnt be mutual funds or the general public buying sh*t? Second Ive been with my firm since Feb of this yr. 2 months dedicated to studying and passing my...

    finally did it....

    1/2 month in the business...equals about 5 years of school. youre right, im 22 years old. the youngest broker EVER in the history of my region and so far the most succesful fast starter to date. Im not here to brag about myself or tell someone to not get a degree or MBA for that matter, what Im...

    finally did it....

    comparing wall street firms to my firm is like comparing apples to oranges and here is why...after some time in the business guys at my firm work no more than 40 hours per week, live just miles from their own office and help individual investors in their communities acheive their financial...

    finally did it....

    update after being in the field for a couple of months this is no cake walk. I have been incredibly succesful/lucky thus far but it shouldnt get any easier for the next couple of years. It is more than worth it, we just had a regional meeting and numerous of the veterans (10+ yrs) are averaging...

    finally did it....

    Well it is a done deal, finished with training. Im now officially a financial advisor!!! It feels so rewarding to actually be helping these people that have no idea how to save or come up with plans to reach financial goals. Just the other day convinced an elderly couple they DID have the...

    finally did it....

    The first post was pretty piss poor sales job, no hard feeling by the way. Most guys doing this job are very passionate about what they do, my commissions work in weird and mysterious ways sometimes. I basically get paid when your money is being managed or a I sell a product ie a bond. There are...

    finally did it....

    ok here goes....why you should pay 5% up front costs to have your money managed by a professional. First off, do you have enough money to be properly diversified? Actually did you know you cant be completely diversified with a portfolio of just stocks? What about the 2010 traditional to roth IRA...
