I was an "internal wholesaler" -- essentially, the junior partner to an outside sales rep (the "external wholesaler"/regional VP) who promoted Alliance's mutual funds and other products to financial professionals in a West Coast territory. I left to become the director of business development for an Internet-based financial services start-up (that's still around, but hasn't gone public), and then after that worked for a couple of years as an external wholesaler/regional VP for a niche investment company that is smaller and less well-known than Alliance. <BR/><BR/>I did a little bit of stock investing on my own when I was at Alliance, but the compliance issues involved when you work at a financial company (e.g., having to get compliance approval before every buy and sell) can be a pain. I didn't get a chance to really drill down into stock investing on my own until the last couple of years, when I haven't been on the payroll of any such firm.DaveinHackensackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01313169814904229272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7126131564610858851.post-74559700587669343812008-06-27T18:24:00.000-04:002008-06-27T18:24:00.000-04:00What's your background,work-wise?From reading your...What's your background,work-wise?<BR/><BR/>From reading your comments elsewhere I guessed you might have worked for Alliance Bernstein.Rudy G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03303546353122040677noreply@blogger.com
