"Are You a Financial Services Industry 'Insider?' If So, Are You One of "The Good Guys?"

 Are you really? Then let me know, and PROVE IT!

If you've been around for any time at all, you know exactly what I'm talking about. You are aware of the deceptive sales practices, the outrageous pillage that takes place on a daily basis, the unbelievable "smoke and mirrors" used to keep the average investor as far away from the truth as possible!

"It's Time to Come Clean, Guys & Gals..."

If you truly are one of the "Good Guys" then you'll agree that its high time for some real reform, for some real action to protect hard-working Americans from getting run over by our financial system with inappropriate investments, huge hidden fees, and inadequate disclosure.

"Here's How You Can Prove Who's Side You're On..."

You don't have to agree with absolutely every word I say. In fact, you might hate my guts, but that doesn't matter. What matters is standing up for the little guy and making sure that you're not a part of the seamy underbelly of the Financial Services Industry.

You also need to "Just Say No!" and make sure you're not selling inappropriate investments, crappy mutual funds, high-fee variable annuities, CMOs with high commissions and loads of risk, and all the other stuff your boss is telling you that you should 'push' on your clients. And then...

If you've got information you can share, let me know. I'm talking about anything you know that could help even one retiree or hard-working family out there avoid getting ripped off and taken advantage of... let me know and I'll pass it on. For now, send me an email at: hw @ angrybroker.com (take out the spaces in the email address so it will go through).

I'm working on setting up a special section for you guys to spill your guts, say you're sorry if you need to, and then do your best to set things right by sharing what you know and helping people. You can stay completely anonymous if you need to. Believe me, I know it's not easy to make it in this business anyway, especially if you are selling the things that are actually a 'good deal' for your clients.

Say you've got someone sitting there with $25,000 to invest. When you can make $1,750 (a 7% commission) for selling some lousy Variable Annuity that's going to cost your client anywhere from 3% to 5% or more per year in fees and expenses, is totally inappropriate, and has WAY too much risk for what they need, I know it's not easy to steer them to the CD (which is the RIGHT thing to do!) that you're only going to make $45 bucks on! Especially when that $25,000 sale (and $1,750 commission) puts you one step closer to that fabulous trip to the Bahamas and an extra cash bonus! They don't make it easy to do the right thing, do they???

Yes, $1,750 goes a heck of a lot further than $45 bucks these days...

"...but sometimes you have to do the RIGHT THING!"

...and NOT the thing that makes you the MOST money.

Let me know that you are involved or employed by the Financial Services Industry...let me know the problems you've seen, and what you're doing about it.

That will give me some hope that there are people with a conscience out there somewhere and I'm not all alone... (I know I'm not... I've met a few "good guys" over the years...)

 In the meantime...

"...Do The RIGHT THING!"

Not sure if you're a "financial services professional?" Here is the definition for the purposes of this website.
