No name financial services firm calling me at work trying to sell investments.  These guys run through professional listings looking for suckers.  Sales guy starts by saying he will keep the call short.  Then he says he "will email materials and then follow-up a few weeks later with one investment idea, sound fair?"  I said, "I'll keep the call shorter, not interested, thanks (click)."  I've heard this pitch 100 times over the years from other NYC sweatshops trying to extract $$$ from folks in the west coast just to earn commissions.  Do they really think I'm going to send $$$ to a voice on the phone at the other end of the country?  If I deal with "investment advisors" it will be locally.
