If you'd like more info, please send E-mail to jpizzo127@yahoo.com
Position open in Long Island, NY

Sir 'Don' Pizzo,
I am humbly applying for one of your "Financial Advisor" trainee positions.
While I did graduate high school I also have college under my belt. But more importantly I would really like to point out that I was very active in the "Financial Advisory Committee Club" on campus.
My speciality was in dealing in face-to-face "interviews" with peeps who had difficulty keeping up with "dues" and "obligations." As a result I also was became quite proficient in delivering special "payment incentives," offered at the bequest of the Club "chairman" of course, for those who'd gone lax in repayment.
I own my own tools, transportation and I am quite efficient with a set of polished brass knuckels, a leaded baton as well as a silenced .45 semi auto (if need be).
And I make a mean orrichetti with peas and proscuitto that is to just die for.
Sincerely,
"Kneecapper" Westy

ROFLOL!!!:rofl :rofl
The funniest part is, that's my favorite dish.
C'mon westy, I'm serious. This is a real career with a legitimate financial conern. Think Merril Lynch...but we're not Merril Lynch.
hehe too funny..

muckmaw: Series 7 license is not necessary, but if you have one, you CANNOT have any marks on your U-4.
I am not looking for a job but something you said piqued my curiocity. I do have Series 7 license current, so what does it mean to have "marks" on U-4? Do you mean it should contain no previous employment (which is hard to imagine since one must be employed to get it in my opinion), of do you mean something like "black marks" as in "reprimands"?

Never heard of a series 7 license... do I qualify?
-
Now why couldn't you have this open in say... 4 years? I'll be done with my degree in Finance/Spanish in 4 years.
Not to thread hijack, but does anyone know the availability of non-experienced personel with a finance degree? I'm looking at places to move too in a few years, and I'm very interested in Oregan/Washington area, and possibly New England area as 2nd choice.

Not sure what you call it but here a mark on the U-4 is a complaint lodged with the NASD against you, an arbitration etc.

Sure, if you want to take the easy route. I say challenge yourself and try Bombay.

I agree bombay would be a challenge, but finance doesn't necesarrily mean the stock market either, well not with the classes I'm required to take to get the degree. A lot of companies have finacial planners and such, that are based in other cities. Although I do agreed NYC would probably be the best place to go, I just don't know how I would ever be able to adjust having lived in a rural (by comparison of course) Oklahoma City. :D

midnight Target: Never heard of a series 7 license... do I qualify?
It's a Security Industry Registered Representative federal license. You must get sponsored by a security firm, pass a test after studying a thick binder of not-always-intuitive stuff and pass a 6-hour computer-administered exam with basillion of questions.
Oh, yeah - and get fingerprinted by FBI few dozen times, especially if you have a scar on your fingertip.
And pass the similar test(s) specific to the state you work in or where the firm's clients are - like Series 53/55 in NYS. Local test is usually much smaller than federal one.
And keep registration current by having short re-certification tests every few years.
After that you can perform certain activities in security industry firms like talk to the financial clients, take their orders and enter them for execution, etc.
I am talking extremely generally here because I am actually a programmer and had to take Series 7 so I could help traders in busy times and not put my firm in violation if I send live orders during the testing of my software.
Oh, yeah - the knowlege required covers stocks, bonds, options, dealing with clients, proper financial advice, legal compliance issues, tax implications, etc. - all usefull knwolege for anyone who invests.

Now before I get started I have a
question. Has anyone here passed the
series seven?
One hand goes up. It's one of the few kids who wears a good
suit and wasn't too worried looking in the waiting room.
SERIES SEVEN
I have a series seven license.
muckmaw
Good for you, now you can get out too.
SERIES SEVEN
What? Why?
muckmaw
Because we don't hire brokers. We
train new ones.
muckmaw waits for him to leave the room and then calmly
continues.
muckmaw (CONT'D)
This is the deal. I am not here to
waste your time and I can only hope
you're not here to waste mine. So I'm
gonna keep this short. You become an
employee of this firm and you will make
your first million within three years.
(pauses)
Okay? Let me repeat that. You will
make a million dollars within three
years of your first day of employment
at JT Marlin. Everybody got that?
There is no question as to whether you
will be a millionaire working at this
firm, the question is how many times
over.
Every kid in the room besides Seth is completely starry eyed
at this point. Some mouths even hang open. Seth is excited
too, but is smarter than the rest... he doesn't show it.
muckmaw (CONT'D)
You think I'm joking. I am not joking.
I am a millionaire. It's a weird thing
to hear, right? I'll tell you, it's a
weird thing to sa. I'm a ****ing
millionaire. Now guess how old I am?
Twenty-seven. You know what that makes
me here? A ****ing senior citizen.
This firm is entirely comprised of
people your age, not mine. Lucky for
me, I am very ****ing good at my job or
I'd be out of one. You guys are the
new blood. You're gonna go home with
the kesef. You're the future Big-
Swinging-Dicks of this firm. Now you
all look money hungry and that's good.
Anybody who says money is the root of
all evil, doesn't have it! Money can't
buy happiness? Look at the ****ing
smile on my face. Ear to ear, baby.
You wanna hear details? I drive a
Ferrari 355 cabriolet.
(throws keys on desk)
I have a ridiculous house on the South
Fork. I've got every toy you can
imagine. And best of all, kids, I am
liquid.
muckmaw takes a pause here and circles the room.
muckmaw (CONT'D)
So now that you know what's possible,
let me tell you what's required. You
are required to work your bellybutton off. We
want winners, not pikers. A piker is
someone who walks at the bell. A piker
asks how much vacation time he gets in
the first year. See, people work here
to become filthy rich. No other
reason. That's it. You want vacation
time? Go teach third grade public
school.
muckmaw pours himself a glass of water from a carafe and drinks.
muckmaw (CONT'D)
Your first six months at the firm are
as a trainee... you make one hundred
and fifty dollars a week. After you're
done training, you take the Series
Seven test. When you pass, you become
a junior broker and you'll be opening
accounts for your team leader. After
you open forty accounts you begin
working for yourself and then... sky's
the limit. Now a word about being a
trainee. The other brokers, your
parents, whoever: they're gonna give
you **** about it. And it's true, a
hundred and fifty a week is not a lot
of money, but pay no mind. You need to
learn the business and this is the time
to do it. Once you pass the Series
Seven none of it will matter.
He pauses to drink.
muckmaw (CONT'D)
Your friends are ****. You're gonna
tell them you made twenty-five thousand
last month and they're not going to
believe you. **** them! Your parents
don't like the life you lead? **** you
Mom and Dad! As a trainee you will be
building a foundation for yourself.
Think of it as the foundation to a
building. Right? Gotta build the
foundation before you can put up your
skyscraper. You know what I built?
(takes out a model)
The ****ing twin towers. Now go home
and think about whether this is for
you. If you decide it isn't, nothing
to be embarrassed about. It's not for
everyone.
But if you really want it, then give me
a call on Monday and we'll talk. Just
don't waste my time. Alright. That's
it.
muckmaw walks out of the room leaving the door open behind him.
No one has moved from their seat.

Sure, go quoting Boiler Room, making my arcane reference to The Muppet Movie seem a little pathetic.

Frankly, I find the movie boiler room simply does not apply to me. But when the market was hot, every punk I played stickball with became an overnight broker. Most made 10x what I make a year. None are still in the business, 2 are in prison, 1 is dead, and all are broke. We're not a boiler room.
Due to compliance restrictions, I cannot name the firm over a public BBS.
Let me simply say I moved from Prudential Securities to work for a bigger company.
Believe me, I do not work for Dewey, Screwem and Howe.
If you are interested, and you are serious, send me an e-mail. won't be the guy to hire, train or even work with you. I just get a nice fat check for bringing in a new trainee.
