There are a few of us around here in the financial arena. Good luck on the Series 65 too. I don't think I'll take the test until at least August.

My wife and I are in almost an identical situation to you: studying for the Series 65 (we plan to take it in June, probably) and keeping our current jobs but looking to start an investment advisory firm. My wife recently got her hours reduced by half (she's a mechanical engineer), so she has had some extra time lately. We recently started a financial blog as well and would be interested to hear what you think. We are also in Georgia, outside Atlanta in the south Forsyth suburbs.

And isn't that contrary to what you stated in your intro "My model for investing/trading has proven good for me which does not guarantee it will work for you. I’ve read numerous books by writers who also claimed they knew the road to millions and it always made me wonder if they could make so much investing then why are they wasting their time writing. I always doubted the validity of their claims, especially since most had no documentation of what they did in real life examples. A lot of ideas are great in theory, but until you document what you’ve done, not just back test, then the theory is not worth much. That still left the question of why should I write about trading if I’m so good at trading". Just curious about your thought process? Was this your original intent when you started this blog to become a finacial advisor? I understood, that you wanted to make money from your trading not from fees you charge for investment advise. Best of luck. zino Do you think your record so far qualifes you to become an investment adviser? And isn’t that contrary to what you stated in your intro

I'll let you know how the test goes, whenever I get there. You've been doing this long enough that I think you'd ease through most of it, at least from what I've reviewed so far. Thanks Mike.

Good for you Alex! I've considered studying for the Series 65 exam and becoming an RIA also, but I just don't have the time right now. My job keeps me very busy. Maybe someday. Anyway, good luck on your studies, the exam, and your new business venture. I hope it turns out successful. Mike A Wow! Good for you Alex!
