Oh, that is funny. These are supposed to be financial people. The people who hear about financial news before anyone else...or so that's the myth. They are in for a rude awakening. Crypto to Fiat or Stocks. Laughable.

    Exactly! Some masters of the universe, huh...? Pfffft...

    Cracked me up, I even had him pull up Poloniex and showed him Steem & SBD on THAT exchange. STILL didn't click with him and he kept trying to tie back to fiat or stocks.

    He's a good example, maybe, of not understanding because his paycheck depends on him not understanding...

      You may already know this...

      Commissions: When a broker whose working on commission basis recommends a certain fund, annuity or any other investment product, there’s a sales charge that comes right out of your pocket (a sales load, which can run 3-6% of your investment right off the top). Or sometimes the company whose product he or she is recommending pays the broker’s commission as a ‘marketing expense’ for that company. Think of it as a kick-back.
      Either way, commissions create a conflict of interest for the advisor. Why? This broker or advisor has a big incentive to recommend the option that pays him/her the most whether or not those investments are really best for you, the client.

      Stay away from these kinds of financial planners at all cost!

      I figured it was something like that. I inherited some (petro) stock from Mom. I had to open an account somewhere to cash it in. I only left a dinky amount in a green ETF. Sort of set it and forget it. So, when a hefty bill came up I called him to sell. (He's a new guy. My old guy retired and passed me on...) I don't think he expected our first meeting to go quite the way it did.

      Poor dear doesn't realize he has me leaning for towards a full cash out. Lol!
