Yes, I do have the sales part down pat, but it is not really sales, it is genuine concern over clients best interest, knowledge, and work ethic.  I enjoy cold calling, that is right.  I actually like speaking to new people and enjoy the challange of opening the account. 

  I also have a huge interest in the markets.  That is all I do.    I am 30, I would be a fool to think that I do not need to learn any more at this point.  Every year I look back and think how little I knew the year before.    No dad hand me down :(  However I was in the right place at the right time and I worked hard. 

Cmon dezaster,

  Come clean dude. I lay odds that you are a Jones GP teaching us about bass fishing (as in setting the hook!) in Missouri.   No way in hell you could amass those kind of assets in such a short time. Right time and place might get you 50M but 200M, you either robbed the bank or the Donald is your best client.
