		<description>I am a 56 year old male embarking on a new career after working for the state of NY for 30 years.  I was taken in by the greed aspect of a young salesman who was starting his own ins branch in suffolk county for long term care insurance.  At his urging I got a Life,accident and health insurance license and then found the company I was working for was too far from me physically to be practical to make any money; further I received no training in the products from them and was terminated by mutual consent.  I approached Met Life and now find they want me to take a series six license to sell the products you list above.  I do not know if I want to sell these products and I have received no money for any of the training or licenses I have.  I am told I am in business for myself but have no product to sell or company to work for as Met life has said until I pass the series 6 and sell 5 contracts I will not be hired.
It seems like the system is set up to force agents to follow the patterns you list above which I will not do as I still have ethics and morals.  Do you have any suggestions as to my breaking this career pattern or should I just give the company back its books and chalk the licenses Producer and Broker and course (my out of pocket expenses of 600 bucks) to experience and just do volunteer work? I have also beeen told it would take 3-5 years of pulling in clients to make a living if then? You may contact me by tel 718 441 8744 thanks.</description>

		<description>My mother and her husband (deceased in 2003) were scammed for over $800,000 in annuities with New York Life.  Luckily, the principal has not been lost, and I have been helping her to cash them in as they become due although we can do nothing about the $300,000 sold in immediate annuities.  After my mother was widowed, she was conned and then neglected by her financial advisor.  He is under investigation now by New York Life, and they will only admit that he took $100 in a gratuity check from her shortly after her spouse died.  She wanted to reward him for driving to her home to help her &quot;sort&quot; out papers.  I believe he took the paper work from the annuity he talked her into selling (NYL) and then talked her into buying another one immediately.  The company will not give me info on this annuity as I was not POA at the time.  The agent did admit to taking the money.  What can I do legally to prevent him from selling to others?  That should have been illegal, and I am trying to get proof of the cashed check to report this.  Who do I report this to?  I have written NASD.  I do not trust anyone anymore.  

Thanks.</description>

		<description>Just want you to know I read it, enjoy it and find it extremely interesting.

Thanks !

P.S.
Hmmm  &quot;financial forecasts are somewhat less reliable than long-range weather forecasts&quot;  (and we know that long-range weather forecasts are   absolutely not reliable),,,,,,,,,,,,,,well put and point taken!</description>
