Bill Singer's Comment
Wall Street's compensation practices have recently fallen under enhanced scrutiny -- particular those aspects that offer so-called incentives or rewards to brokers for pushing specific product or reaching sales goals.  Here is a simple example of the law of unintended consequences (but for the fact that the consequences aren't all that unexpected).  Member firms run contests or enact minimum performance levels in order to qualify for participation at events.  That wouldn't necessarily seem a problem -- but for folks who decide to get on the bus through the back-door.  Can you imagine forfeiting your career in order to attend a lousy insurance conference?
