Were you born yesterday…it isn’t all of the sudden…it always was…check the registered rep broker surveys for the last 10+ years…whre did AGE rank year in and year out 1 or 2
Wachovia ALWAYS brought up the rear!

[/quote] Ability to do Aircraft Leasing[/quote] ticket charge?[/quote] Wait.....there are ticket charges on 'aircraft leasing'.....oh, man.. I started at AGE in 2001. So far, I like what I am seeing regarding Smart Station and the PIM platform. Since mostly advisory based - ticket charges do not appear to be a problem. However, we have guys in the office that are very transactional and do a lot of small trades. They will be crushed in March. Biggest concern is lack of name and communication.
If that is your idol list, it explains alot. I am sorry that you are such a sad and pathetic man....it's OK to come out of the closet Jim...really, you don't always have to back up DL, grow a set.The greatest thing that could ever happen is spinning off WS to old school broker only (yes like AGE)

CDO - I agree with a lot of what you say......I think.....sometimes it takes a couple of reads to figure out the fragments. However, you are schtick kind of sounds like the intro's that D. Kowach (sp) gives for DL before he speaks.The greatest thing that could ever happen is spinning off WS to old school broker only (yes like AGE)

Hey CDO
DL told me that there were hundreds-- in fact thousands-- of small groups of people looking at how AGE did stuff and how WS did things and they would decide the best practices case by case. Sounded really good because I knew we had our act together and I figured WS must do some things pretty good but I never worked there but they were a real brokerage firm--right? So these teams (if they ever existed) decide: Fireing all of our recearch people is a good idea. Not having a research department is a better idea than having one. Complexing and major marketing is a good idea. Adding many layers between managers and the region will help things get done. A grid verses the AGE payout and production bonus schedule is a good idea. None of the AGE brokers even know what a grid is. Call centers instead of departments dedicted to specific branches are a good idea. In important customer service areas such as margin, account transfers, new accounts, legal, drt, you are as likely to get a recording as a person and the person may just be in India. Not paying customers a fair interest rate on cash in there account is a good idea. Make the brokers pick up cash manually and put it in a money market then try to remember to shake it loose every time we do a trade is a productive use of our time. I could go on but DL did not keep controll of all he told me he would do. Remember those "stakes in the ground" he was always talking about. My bosses never heard of them. They do not know what I am talking about. Who do I see about that. BTW. AGE really was that good.there are only about 2 stakes in the ground remaining. Can anyone recite the 5 stakes?
Please, re-enlighten me. Best-o-both-co's, what a crock. I will give DL this, he was an awesome salesman and I really did believe him at first. No longer.I did too…and when I no longer did I left…about 4 weeks now…that’s right folks I am out.
scary and sad times
no doubt
wealth destroyed at rates i didnt think possible
your timing was horrible bad luck
getting WB/wfc sucks
indexes down 50% sucks
etc etc
its survival yes
Not DL fault.
i respect and love the guy
he didnt create all this
In 26 years. he is the only top management guy i say i REALLY trust
u sound like a whinning pussy client
the market went down
who can i blame
u aint with AGE anymore
deal with objectively
my call center was better…i cant read the grid
gezz man stfu.
are you going to start crying?
Good for you, were to nestegg?I did too…and when I no longer did I left…about 4 weeks now…that’s right folks I am out.

Never thought I would leave...I went where was best for my clients and ms...didn't take the biggest check...didn't go to a wirehouse...din't go indy (not for me)...wen't to the closest thing to the old AGE..and I fell like I stepped back in time to how things used to be.
What are you the Hycue (sp?) King?? NO, just a DB. DL is a man, nothing more. Not the diety that you profess.scary and sad times
