He said that no one there was designated as a Certified Financial Planner and their really employed by SII Investments. They never mentioned anything about selling us annuities, like some people have said. We are confused. If your with Fross are you happy? Any info would be appreciated.
I use Interactive Brokers and they are excellent and cheap although they don't offer advice. I have set my account up as follows and it generates an excellent income stream and I think is conservative.

10% cash
10% acg
10% vti
10% fam
10% pff
10% awf
10% lqd
10% pcef
10% dia
10% nma

I reinvest dividends to keep these balances. IB charges .05 per share traded
