Joe was and remains one of the best recruiters in the business. Unfortunately he didn't have as much to sell as he did at the old Robby and Montgomery Securities. Ren and his team will address that and they have a good core team to help.

Ren Riley has been disastrous as a CEO. Clients are unhappy, top advisors leaving, down to a skeletal crew in SF. It's a shame because the original Robertson Stephens brand was stellar.

This firm is imploding. I give them another 6 months.
