Where to begin? Well, the fact that you assume i work for Schwab and what my qualifications are by my screen name immediately discredits you as a source if accurate or intelligent information is the most obvious point. Let me clue you in: I don??t work for Schwab. See, when people are looking for new employment, they don't want their current or potential employer knowing who is in the process of exploring other opportunities or researching a firm. Keep this in mind as you look to escape the mailroom. Rather, the screen name stems from my admiration of Chuck as a CEO and the 200% ROR I've realized in the stock since his return.
Of equal comedy is the insight you have on your "2 former buddies who are willing to let go of the pride and looking to return to Fisher" comment. I'm sure they felt the need to get the approval from someone as insightful and enlightened as yourself.
If you are in, fact, an employee of Fisher then the one valid point you make is the elitist mentality those working there seem to have. Again, allow me to clue you in: unless you are Ken himself, a member of his Investment Council, an Analyst or an RVP, you have zero cause to take pride in what this firm has accomplished. None whatsoever.
Remember to look both ways before crossing the street you dope.

Schwab4Life and AppleSauce12: To answer your questions, I used to be with Fisher in sales. I left over my own bruised ego (which I'm still nursing at another place). I sell less overall but am at the top of the pack and get the benefit of feeling like a big shot. But despite my own personal situation, I have a lot of respect for Fisher. It's a tightly run ship.
Schwab4Life: Sorry if I offended, but anybody in this business who thinks ego isn't important is probably wrong. Furthermore, you state that aside from select individuals one would "have zero cause to take pride in what this firm has accomplished." Huh? Why work at a place where you don't have any pride?
Anyway, like I basically said before, Fisher is great for some and not for others. Good luck.
