primerican hereI had a client of mine who had VA with american express aka ameriprise and dear God you people have no hearts. Bet your commision was nice though maybe 1-1.5k for what you did to her. No heart in this world only greed
Much like your scripted presentations and McPlans you are repeating yourself...Oh yes, nobody else wants to service the mass affluent...Only Ameriprise will save them...Let me begin today by asking you a couple of questions, do you really think that other brokers and fin. services companies will turn all those baby boomers away? If that is true how come you dorks are doing lunch and learns to get clients? The boomers would be swarming in the door.
Ace1247, you are obviously new to the business and you believe what your FVP is telling you. Read some independent reviews of the company and some trade publications. You need to think about your career long-term, after they burn through your natural market where will you be?
I wish you the best though, I was once where you are now.
All 12,000 Ameriprise advisers are horrible people. Every single one of them is scamming Ameriprise's 2 million clients. Also, all racial minoritys are criminals. They provide no value to middle class Americans (assets under $1 million) that the big financial planning firms wont service. Middle class people should not dabble in financial planning and should just wing it to retirement. It is a evil evil corporation.
Why is it that most of the people that support Ameriprise have only watched a couple of videos total? Do they work for Ameriprise? Are they paid to post here, or do they just spend every evening calling refresh leads...
Yeah, keep drinking the cool aid bed wetter:)It's always because someone could not cut it as a FA at Ameriprise that they criticize the company. I am sure that your GVP told you that so you'll keep Lunch and learning like a good little cult follower. Anyway, I know it is true, which is why I left the company for greener pastures-higher net worth clients etc. Someday you will learn that the emperor is not wearing any clothes and I hope it is before he touches you in a bad place.
The truth according to the NASD broker check is that many major financial institutions have had huge fines levied against them. I advise everyone prior to investing to ask for form "ADV" which is their disclosure of conflicts of interests. They are required by law to give form "ADV" to you. You must ask for it because they will not give it freely. Many large investment banks were notorious for pushing ENRON during their rise and fall
Actually, form ADV only applies to "Registered Investment Advisors" -- brokers, whom you would find on NASD broker check don't have ADVs. And, ANY individual broker who has a case against them, you should treat like POISON.
. Many execs get off with no more than a tap on the hand for stealing your hard earned money. If an ordinary citizen took money from someone they would be locked up for years. Find out what the relationship is of the investment bank to the companies they are suggesting you invest your money. Brokerages are just salespeople pushing a product. Sometimes it benefits them but not the client because of commissions. Not all are bad though so you have to do investigative work.
Stocks opening at $35 per share are not "penny stocks." This is a stupid video and I'm sorry I wasted my time looking at it. There is NO company in the industry for us to admire for keeping their noses clean. EVERYONE has been fined for something.
NO MATTER HOW MUCH EDITING YOU DO WITH THE VIDEO WITH NASTY MESSAGE IT IS STILL ENTICING AND ITS THE PERFORMANCE OF ITS STOCK PER SHARE THAT COUNTS. STARTED FROM A PENNY STOCK LAST 2005 AND NOW DOUBLED OR TRIPLED THE PRICE WHICH SHOWS ITS PERFORMANCE FOR GOOD MANAGEMENT. CONGRATS AMERIPRISE AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK..
Just because a company makes a lot of money or stock price is increasing, does not mean the product they sell is good or that it is earned honestly. I'm not saying they aren't, but stock price is not a good indicator, at least not instantaneously. 20 years from now, we may be able to look back and see the stock price drop one day due to some SEC filing or the company go under as a whole.
osbjmg is right...it is a stupid argument like saying smoking is good for you because of the value of a tobacco stock. Someone's FVP or GVP is blowing smoke up their ass again.
The truth is a nasty message? You have the sack to end the comment with trust me? You must work for the company. Why don't you become a pimp and hurt fewer people in the long run. Also, learn what a penny stock is dumb ass.
Love the paraody cuz it helps consumers see what an unethical outfit Ameriprise is. The Kool-aid drinkers who defend this company need de- tox. A better name would be Ameri-sleaze!!!
It's pretty clear that anyone who would devote so much time and effort to something like this is definitely a disgruntled former employee. All companies have them, but this guy is working especially hard at this. Try to get past it, your life will improve dramatically. Negativity is not the right path.
Some say, all former Ameriprise employees are disgruntled, or in jail:)
Seriously though, Ameriprise's actions make the rest of the industry look bad. As an advisor, I think the video is more of a public service than a disgruntled act. Negativity is a bad path, but the truth will set you free...
These fines are HUGE. Ameriprise was a top recipient of fines and has 34 regulatory actions against them!! Look on NASD's Broker Check. It's all out there.
People, please don't trust this firm with your hard-earned money.
This is dumb. You could do this with ANY Financial Firm out there. In fact, these fines are miniscule to what other major firms like Merril Lynch, Legg Mason, and Morgan Stanly experienced. Ameriprise must be doing something right though as their stock is up nearly 40% since it debutred last October. YOu must be a disgruntled employee who got fired cus you couldn't get any clients! LOL
Your video skills are horrible. Go parody a company that is actually evil and more people will like your video.
