Thanks for that recipe, Paul. I corrected my error in the other post where I left the letter (l) off of your name. That's what happens when I am on plain old tequila.

In my opinion, allowing ANYONE to sell any type of investment should require a license far better than a L&H insurance license, and a 40 hour class. Heck, my 12 year old daughter could probably pass the L&H exam.

We have people that know very little about the ins and outs of investing, selling products they don't understand, and selling annuities based on information given to them by the insurance carriers only.

We have agents who are broke, deeply in debt, bankrupt, etc., giving financial advice to senior citizens. IT SHOULD BE AGAINST THE LAW!!!

I know very little about investing in annuities,and really don't want to learn at this point, and it should be illegal for me to go up to anyone and recommend they place their life savings into something I have suggested. But if I chose to, I would be operating within my license to do so.

If you are selling annuities, and your own finances are in shambles, you should be ashamed of yourself.

I could not agree with you more.....and these people that know very little about investments give those that do a bad name.

Some broke dude working at Bankers who won't be there in a month has no business advising seniors on how to "invest" their money. The problem is that they know only what their "trainer" has told them, which is probably filled with half truths and leaving out a lot of the facts.

Wow, dude.. you have got the low down on Bankers. Except one important detail.. the "trainer" probably only has 5-6 months experience himself... WTH does the company expect? Bring in a new puppie, brainwash him with the help of alot of spiked koolaide, tell him he's great and then promote him to a trainer... What a joke !

Now that sounds like the BLC that I was with 11 years ago.... After 4 months they had me out doing joint training calls with rookies....The final straw for me was when I realized that I was making 50% of the commission and my manager was making 40% of what I made and 40% of the guy I trained so he made almost as much as me sitting at his desk.

Well, we should all aspire to BLC management.

Is that a glorified ponzi or pyramid scheme....I'm not quite up on my "schemes"

 

[luis.stevens]

that's my point. Agents have about 2 hours of annuity training in a 40 hour L&H class, and they are out telling seniors where to put their money. Yeah, right....

I think one should have to be certified, and be licensed, in annuities alone, with classroom time of 100 hours or so, and pass an exam.
.

Exactly pointed by in a true sense!

You mean like stock brokers? 100 hours?

How about you just don't sell any insurance products you don't understand?

We don't genius......we are talking about "some" captive agents.
