Free dinners on brokers
Anybody getting solicitations from stock brokers offering free dinners? I seem to get about one per week. According to The Wall Street Journal many "troubled" brokers cluster in areas inhabited by relatively well off senior citizens. Free dinners are one way to mine for the gold. Brokers refer to the dinners as "platelickers". How Troubled Brokers Cluster, Often Among Elderly Investors - WSJ - WSJ
