On Don Bright & his trading methods

Quote from LEAPup:

Well, as a Broker Dealer registered with FINRA (sorry about this Don:D ), it's fully Compliant and legal for Don to fly a prospective new Trader/employee to for example, to the Bahamas for a weekend for an 'about our Firm' kind of event. He can legally/with Compliance approval fly the prospective Trader there, pay for lodging, meals, and entertainment.

He is NOT allowed to fly the "prospective traders" spouse or family, nor pay any of their expenses if they accompany the prospective trader, however. He is also NOT allowed to hand money to a prospective trader at this point to "have a good time on." Not even a dollar bill. Literally!

He can, however, (hint! Lol!) pay for the entire trip (only for the prospective trader/employee), pay the airfare, lodging, rental car/limo, meals, and entertainment. He can't buy the prospective trader/employee a new Rolex, and a Ferrari. That won't fly. the above will though.:D

How about it Don? You hold the event, mav, others, and myself will be there.:D Hope I'm not throwing you under the "this is going to get expensive" bus.:D :D

I think you scared Don off with all these demands. :(

Surf, you're in! I just need Don to give the OK. Hell Baron could sponsor the thing. Maybe Anna has some friends she could bring? :)

Hi Mav.... I really don't think I'll be doing any traveling for some time.. gotta focus on getting feeling better.... But, as soon as I'm "cleared" for travel and all that.... I'm up for most anything.... :)

Don, sorry to hear you are not 100% yet. And I agree, you really should not be debating me in public in your condition. At least not until you sign a medical waiver from my lawyer. :)

Alright then, I'll be rooting for a fast recovery. I hope you feel better Don! Nothing like ET to get the spirits back up eh? :D
 
I hope I didn't cause any physical problems by mentioning that Don can pay for prospective traders travel/lodging/food to come to places like the Bahamas, etc., as the Firm holds a meeting there at the same time.:(

Sorry Don if I caused any pain.:D

(The only reason I mentioned it is a Firm I worked for years ago liked to recruit Brokers/IAR's by paying for the Brokers travel/lodging, and food while the Firm may be holding a Compliance conference at the same time in the Carribean. I didn't go on the trip before U-4'ing, and kick myself for not doing it. Lol!:D Guess with a Wife and three Sons, I was thinking about production vs. vacation/schmooshing. Now that I think about a Wife and three Sons-who are all three in High School now-I should have taken the trip!:eek: :D :D )

Compliance note: only the prospective employee's travel/lodging and food can be paid for by the member Firm. His/Her Family members who accompany CANNOT be paid for by the Firm.

On a serious note, hope you're doing better Don!
