Every state is different to a degree on the laws for what is required. Here in Iowa, things have gotten A LOT more stringent for good reason. To be a licensed financial advisor, someone I know, just spent the better part of 6 months studying and paying a fairly hefty sum of money, then testing and spending more money to get their series 6 and 6-3. He has to carry E and O insurance. He had to submit to a personal investigation. And has to maintain his continuing education, along with paying annual fees. His next goal is Series 7. That will be even more difficult and costly. It isn't a piece of cake. But.......if I am going to get financial advise that I can trust, I would hope to god the person giving the advise, is someone like him.
