What Is "Broker Facts I... A Guide For The Aspiring Stockbroker"?
Everything I have ever read on the subject of our profession has either idealized or demonized the stockbroker. I have never found any source of information that gives an honest, true to life appraisal of our business for the person considering a career in our industry, let alone offering the tools needed to find a job with a reputable firm.
In order to fill that information void I have authored a 2 1/2 hour audio program entitled "Broker Facts I... A Guide for the Aspiring Stockbroker", downloadable in MP3 format.
The objective of Broker Facts I is to help you determine if the securities industry is for you and, once having made that decision, equip you with the tools and coaching necessary to help you get a job at the kind of firm that is specifically right for YOU!
Here is a synopsis of the valuable information contained within the chapters of "Broker Facts I":
