In response to this quote, 'An unconfirmed number of a thousand shared customers does indicate that grassroots RIA pressure might have convinced Schwab to turn a blind eye to who owns eMoney.' Think of Schwab as a bank. Oh wait they are a bank! The margins on the RIA side for Schwab are slim. Which means they really don't care that much about it. Look at what they've done on the fintech side...not much. Oh yeah they have a robo tool...I wonder why they allocate so much to cash. With interest rates increasing Schwab is set to make a bundle. Schwab's stock has almost doubled in a year as well as other banks. I'm not bashing Schwab at all. I believe they're a great firm. What I'm saying is the RIA side and fintech side of Schwab is ehh.

In response to this comment: "Having heard Ron Carson, CEO of Carson Wealth, speak many times in the past, he seemed to me more his usual maniacally upbeat and energetic self than at the Market Counsel event in which I last saw him appear." That's because at the MarketCounsel Summit he had no voice and was sick as a dog. So not only would I submit that he was in fact, his usually 'maniacally upbeat and energetic self' (on the inside), but this serves as further evidence that he is an unstoppable industry force that won't let something like acute bronchitis slow him down. Also perhaps proof that one would need to be comatose in order to miss an opportunity to speak at the MarketCounsel Summit.

No doubt we grade Ron's energy on a curve. We always expect the other guy to power through a killer cold. As someone with a bad cold right now I'm feeling very sympathetic to being on the receiving end of a virus! -Brooke
