Summary:I thought you might be interested in what financial advisors are thinking and feeling and saying to their clients during a traumatic time in the world economy. You've probably seen some of these financial train wrecks in history videos on YouTube: the soup lines of the Great Depression, stagflation and oil shocks during the 1970s, Black Monday in 1987 and the tech wreck that started in March of 2000 and was made worse by 9/11 the following year.

Summary: With the average age of a financial advisor over 50 and nearly 1/3rd of all financial advisors projected to retire in the next 10 years, there is a rapidly rising demand for next-generation talent to replace them. And the demand is only further amplified by the ongoing shift of the advisory industry from commission-based compensation to (recurring) AUM fees, which for the first time make it viable for advisory firms to hire a deep bench of Support and Service advisors to retain existing clients without any need to be responsible (or successful) at finding their own new clients.
