What's even worse as a broker is working for a firm that is constantly pushing structured products to its customers, such as the latest "flavor of the month" in mutual funds, when you have a book of stock and option investors who have no desire to buy the firm's high fee, low performance offerings. Most investors do not realize how much pressure is brought to bear on many stockbrokers to build a book of high-value (profitable to the firm) customers. When it comes to using a full-service broker, buyer beware. As a former stockbroker, I can tell you that the problem Bill described is real, and not in the best interests of the client.

I told myself I would buy 1 stock a month, but here it is the end of the month and there is nothing I want to buy. I have been battling this same problem.
