I can’t believe I friggin spent over $2,000 to go watch this dog and pony show. For that kind of money, I probably could have bought my own candy store. The firm could have sent out email bulletins and given us everything we needed to know. Bernanke made some money by “gracing” us with his interview, Branson was mildly entertaining but not stellar, and everything else was just a bunch of rah-rah BS. What a crock of dog rockets. I was hoping to hear how the firm was going to do something to inform the American public that LPL was a great financial firm, but there are apparently no plans to even attempt something like that. At least some of my colleagues got laid. I even had to buy my own drinks. Time to go firm shopping.
