In the same spirit of inquiry, has anyone had experience with LifeUSA Securities as a broker/dealer for an Independent Contractor needing little from the "Home Office"? I appreciate any information.

Carter > _________________________________________________________________________ Hello Donna, I don't know anything about www.investmentctr.com. When you say you are exploring options, do you mean that you are looking for a new broker/dealer? If so, I recommend my B/D, Linsco/Private Ledger. I was drawn to them because of their independence (no proprietary products) and because of the independence I am allowed. They have pretty good support, also. Furthermore, they have a great money management program for fee-based money management. They have offices all over the country. If you've been in the business for a couple of years, and have more than $120K trailing 12-month compensation, you can open your own office. Check out their web-site at www.LPL.com.
