Check finra.org &quot;brokercheck&quot; utility for background information on the advisor(s) you are considering.<br /><br />Try not to become part of the problem but a catalist for solutions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19253355.post-41053345847312684862008-08-20T18:44:00.000-07:002008-08-20T18:44:00.000-07:00I have been an advisor with the firm for nearly ten years and I am proud of the advice I give and the positive impact I have on my clients lives. It's a shame that the firm hired too many people too fast and risked diluting the brand. I can say however that my colleagues and I work hard every day putting the interests of our clients first while giving prudent and thoughtful advice to help them achieve their goals.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
