I am a planner with metlife securities, I actually just got back into personal I was the agency director of our albany office for sometime, I eventually grew to hate it, it did not afford me enough boating time.

Are you in GF with Don Tenny?

yes

oopps I mean't to say i just got back into personal production, I hear you are in the same biz. fast eddie told me that. Yuo shoulkd come work with us in glens falls we have are own little 3 man office here, no one bothers us , I don't wear a tie any more, If i am not seeing clients or anybody I will come in in shorts, its great. but you need to be pretty self sufficient here, because we don't get much help either.

hugetime1,

I started in 1995 with PaineWebber in GF. The manager at the time in that office lied, made promises he did not keep and solicited my clients. For about 6 or so months I met with managers at many firms and spoke with wholesalers. The manager at Prudential Securities in Albany came highly recommended. He made me a great offer to come and I left PW in 1999. Well, I went from the frying pan to the fire! Same chit different office. I had a decent book of about 45 million under management and walked away. I am now at AYCO Asset Management and I really like it. I have a decent salary and bonus program. Last years bonus sucked because the market sucked. You may be aware but we were just bought by Goldman Sachs. So we shall see what comes of it over time. Going back into production no longer appealing as I don't want to rebuild a book. I have some ideas for some insurance guys like yourself where someone like myself could be an "Investment Specialist" and bring a lot of value to the table in that I can show you and your clients how to invest on a fee basis, use indexes, asset allocation, and control your own tax liabilities while not being subject to mutual fund distributions etc. But we shall see.

so you gonna give me a ride in that skater this weekend or what

NOPE! Gonna be in Pocono. Sorry. Maybe in August some time. August 2nd I am doing GLH's Milk Run on Lake Champlain.

shane am I going to need blue charts for that run, if so do you know any one who would let me borrow one, I don't have the one for champlain

I don't think so. Right now we have a tentative plan that looks like this. Gary Heidenstrom of ModVPSST racing fame along with Billy Bunting from Performance Custom Trailers, myself and T2x will head up to Plattsburgh and dump in at the Naked Turtle and shoot across to the start point. Billy knows the lake well. Then, with the Turtle being the last stop we are right there to head south and do not have to run the lake again if it gets SUPER rough as it can from time to time. I can keep you posted. Or, you trailer right to where alot of guys are launching in VT and GLH has posted the directions on the other thread. When were you planning on heading up?
