My Day With FINRA And Recommendations (Wonkish, Long)
A look inside the financial self-regulatory system.
I’m a registered representative. I just had my first bout of “continuing education”, which is intended to keep me updated on the latest regulatory developments in the financial industry. You probably have some idea of what this is like if you’ve ever attended mandatory corporate training of any stripe. Which is to say: it hysterically and profoundly misunderstands the problem and goes about solving it in the must proclamatory and ineffective manner possible.
The only reason you hear crickets in response to a question is that on the Internet nobody can talk back. Until you hit “post.”
None of those things are recommendations. Is this explanation too dated?.
I don’t think the trial attorneys are going to get far on things like alphabetization unless they can show a deliberate effort on the part of the person providing the service to bias people toward them.
