Okay, I want to know if Mom & Pops across the kitchen table have any idea what any of the above letters stand for and do they care?

Personally, I would like to add three (3) more into the mix just to clear up some of the confusion.

(19) BEFA, Bank Employee Financial Advisor
(20) SBFA, Stock Broker Financial Advisor
(21) IAFA, Insurance Agent Financial Advisor

I'm just saying...

All I can say, is

ROFL

I get a good laugh out of people who have more letters after their name than are actually in their name!

Such as:
Zinger Dufuss, FLMI, CLU, FALU, AAPA

12 letters total first and last name followed by 15 letters?

I'm confused?

FLMI = Flaming Liberal Mean Insurrectionist

CLU = Certified Lunatic Underachiever

FALU = Failed Academically at Lipshitz University

AAPA = Actual Apathetic Premium Accountant

I've just created a "new" designation: SAFE

SAFE = Self Appointed Financial Expert

Don't forget FOBS (Full Of ...) and SYFC (Screwing You For Commission) ...

Actually Brian I was thinking about getting my EIEIO designation but upon reflection I remembered I was awarded that back in Kindergarten.

It went something like this......

Old McDonald had a farm........E - I - E - I - O

I've sold a few of those eieio life policies.

GarySpicuzza · #9 (**permalink**) 02-01-2008, 07:32 AM

EIEIO may be:

The refrain in the folk song "Old McDonald Had a Farm"
Enforce In-Order Execution of I/O, an assembly language instruction used on the PowerPC computer processor

I'm confused?

Email, Internet, Electronic Information Officer

Expo for Interactive Entertainment: Independent and Original

What's a TLA?

What's a FLA?

Oh my, there's a new kid on the block!

An MSAA.

That's right, the Misguided Stupid & Asinine Associate designation.

Click HERE to get your Misguided Stupid & Asinine Associate (MSAA) designation today.

This designation WILL NOT put one more penny of commission in your pocket as I've yet to meet the first client who would knowingly do business with any Misguided Stupid & Asinine Associate.

It's a good thing that ONLY...

Quote:

Any licensed insurance agent, broker, or producer; or company personnel.

...may apply...since it's a third degree felony to sell insurance without a license from the Gubment of your home state.

Where's "The Guy From Boston" when ya need him?

There is a new "professional" designation for Broker-Dealers and their Registered Representatives controlled by the Securities and Exchange Commission.......the.......... *CCC.

*Certified Clueless Clown

Bumped to top of board to shuffle the deck PLUs this one is funny!

GarySpicuzza · #13 (**permalink**) 07-25-2009, 07:39 AM

Bumping to the top of the board again for my amusement.

GarySpicuzza · #14 (**permalink**) 07-29-2009, 11:03 AM

Absolutely too hockey pucking funny!!!

I just got off the phone with:

Cynthia M. Clark, RPR, CLR, FPR, CMRS

...as Jon Stewart would say WTF?

Nation,.....PLEASE,.....Do NOT do business with anyone who promotes themselves with as many or more letters after their name as there are IN their name.

They are rule of thumb.....INCOMPETANT!

Gary, very amusing. So did you ever figure out what any of these are "RPR, CLR, FPR, CMRS"? I get JD, CPA, CFP, CFA but anything beyond that is beyond my knowledge.
