John Tesh, the radio show host (The John Tesh Radio Show) who advises listeners on many different
topics, says that EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE A FINANCIAL ADVISER. A close cooperation between consumers and their financial
advisers can make consumers’ lives much more comfortable.
Planning for the future is essential; that “first
step” is the hardest one to make. We prefer our clients control their money and they not break the link and hand it
over to their adviser to control. Certain “blind trusts” might require such a break between a person and their
money. For instance, elected officials are often required to keep their investments in “blind trusts.”

Starting a background in portfolio management in 1988 with a
licensing in General Securities (Series 7,) the era of “Black Monday” (October 19th, 1987) was a fresh topic. Why was this
an important event? Because it frightened all investors! It also scared non-investing people. It was a blow to our economy.
Again
in the bubble-bursting years of 2000 and 2001. There were many legitimate reasons why both of these events occurred that dropped
the market for the next year or two. Yes-call it foolish investing!
A hardy applause for aspirants starting in the
investment/securities field today!
After the mortgage/credit meltdown, the dissolution of several world known investment
houses, the elimination of popular banking names, it all is a result of excess. It is the same as a cold winter. After the
snow melts and the ice thaws, flowers will once again bloom.
A lot of this “excess-enthusiasm” has come from fraud.
Until it is detected, fraud is a masked character. How do you detect it before it hurts? Be ever vigilant; and always remember
that if something acts too good to be true-it probably is! Visit the website below and find more information on fraud detection.

We offer training in the Series-7 (general securities')
test. There is a charge but the amount is minimal to your opportunities.
The Series-7 is not required to be an investment
advisor. Only the Series-65 test is required. However, the Series-7 prepares you to be the best investment advisor that you
could be.
Our company cannot sponsor the test. You will need to be employed by a securities firm (a broker-dealer) in
order to file for registration for the test.
We offer service in two states at this time-California and our home state of
Virginia. We actively solicit individuals who might be interested in being a Registered Investment Adviser to contact
us for more information.
