That's because big banks like Regions and WF are pulling them in to work commission jobs and putting goals to sell a certain # of a certain product each month or they lose their job and have to pay back all non-vested commissions. Look for an FA that works on flat fees and you'll be much better off. They arent motivated to sell you anything because it doesn't help their pay check. I charged a flat fee so people putting $3k in and IRA made me as much money as putting $100k into large cap funds.


I hope we have once again reminded people that man is not free unless government is limited. There�s a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: as government expands, liberty contracts. � Ronald Reagan
