I am sorry about that. I know it's been a while. Some day it will happen, but not likely in the next decade.
And then, your football team, after a great start, loses Cutler and the team implodes. So sad.

You're on the wrong forum. This one's for insurance agents.
What are your reasons for wanting to join a RIA instead of becoming one yourself?
I've heard good things about LPL financial. Make sure they are independent and not owned by a broker dealer. JMO

I realize this is an insurance agent forum, however many agents have their series 65.
I'm not interested in having my own RIA.

I thought LPL was a broker dealer?

They do run their own securities (so I'm sorry - they're not a good example). You can't avoid B/Ds altogether - you need them to buy and sell your securities but if I had to be an IAR I would choose a small shop that uses an outside firm. LPL has gotten too big. IMO
