Cold calling and account churning?

No licensed broker dealer will allow you to work in their office, IMO. I'm pretty sure it's not legal because of FINRA rules about broker/client relationships. And, retail brokers would never ever want you to know how they handle things, much less put it on TV, again, IMO only.

We asked to have a simple trading competiton reality show a while back, the Regulators actually laughed.

(Disclaimer: Obviously not a legal opnion, or that of Bright Trading or any of it's affiliates. )

The Hill was fantasy, now that could probably be done, pure make believe.


FWIW,

Don

Quote from Kubrick66:

We're developing a reality series pitch on currently unidentified brokerage firm in New York or San Francisco - ideally we'd like to find a smaller indie firm guided by seasoned pros staffed with young brokers. Concept is to get an inside look at the drama of the firm set against the personal lives of brokers.

Any suggestions for a starting point?

Thanks in advance.

Hookers are more interesting and have a lower incidence of STDs(they f less people apparently).

I worked at the old Dean Witter in SF for 3 months. Nothing interesting happened the whole time. Hope you have lots of tape.

BWAHAHAHA! I worked at one of the original boiler rooms. It was a penny stock firm. We cold called lists of suckers to try to get them to buy our crap. The first firm I worked for was Stuart James. Look it up on the SEC website, it was called a "factory of fraud" by the SEC. the second firm I worked for was Thomas James. I was hired by Tony Elgindy. You don't have to google his name to find out who he was, just plug it into the ET search right here. I never opened a single account at either firm. I was the worst broker in the history of the biz. And, after all these years, damb proud of it.
