    Howard Diamond Quoted – By Andrew Welsch and Suleman Din, OnWallStreet – Morgan Stanley joined a growing list of prominent corporate brands to suffer a data breach, after it revealed an employee stole the information to as many as 350,000 wealth management clients, and that some of the data was posted online.

    $900M Team Joins Raymond James

    Howard Diamond Quoted – By Andrew Welsch, OnWallStreet – Raymond James & Associates recruited an advisor team managing $900 million in assets to open its first office in Manhattan.

    From the ashes of 2008, a thriving firm was born

    Howard Diamond Quoted – By Trevor Hunnicutt, InvestmentNews – On Oct. 16, 2008, the six-column subheading that crowned the Wall Street Journal cried, “Stocks Post Biggest Drop Since 1987 Crash.” Meanwhile, Merrill Lynch & Co. was reporting its fifth straight quarter in the red — a loss of more than $5 billion for the period — underscoring the deteriorating conditions that preceded its takeover by Bank of America Corp.

    Why Teaming Up Is Good for Business

    Why Teaming Up Is Good for Business

    Howard Diamond Quoted – By Dave Lindorff, OnWallStreet – There was a time when working as an advisor or a broker was a solitary profession.

    Recruiters get stiffed more often since financial crisis

    Howard Diamond Quoted – By John Aidan Byrne, New York Post – Headhunter Sanj Hingorani is a 19-year veteran of Wall Street’s brutal multimillion-dollar recruiting wars — and he was “stiffed” by clients. Hingorani is owed about $300,000 in fees, and that’s because of today’s more cutthroat corporate practices, the headhunter says.

    Advice Firms Attract Veterans, and Vice Versa

    Advice Firms Attract Veterans, and Vice Versa

    Howard Diamond Quoted – By Joan Warner, Financial Advisor IQ – There’s an uncanny connection between the financial-advice business and the military. Big firms enthusiastically recruit veterans as FAs, many offering a special training channel for people transitioning from an armed-services career. The Internet and airwaves resound with the voices of former military personnel drawn to financial and investment coaching. And the mysterious radar that enables members of the different services to recognize one another — even years after they’re out of uniform — creates a vast network of prescreened potential employees.
