Dear Friends and Fans in the Financial Services Industry:

Many of you have heard me speak about -
http://cts.vresp.com/c/?SCOREPhila/fc1c99a316/960ab26fe6/fb7154f997 ExecuSpeak Dictionary. It is the foundation for my business. The
book has gotten great reviews.

The Executive Director of the Society of American Business Editors
and Writers (SABEW is the professional association of those at the
Wall Street Journal, TheStreet.com, CNBC, etc.) said:

“ExecuSpeak Dictionary simplifies complicated subjects.”
Warren Watson, Executive Director, SABEW

Some investors, bankers, financial advisors, and commercial bankers
have purchased copies for themselves or family members. While
speaking about purchasing the books as client or Private Label gifts,
the issue of compliance has been brought up as a concern. So I’ve
done a little homework on your behalf.

What follows is my understanding of the compliance rules associated
with Gifts or FINRA Rule 3220 (which replaced FINRA Rule 3060 in
2008):
Gifts to clients are limited to no more than $100 per year. -

http://cts.vresp.com/c/?SCOREPhila/fc1c99a316/960ab26fe6/baef1f890d Business English for Investors to your clients then you should be
within compliance when you give your gift under the following
conditions: Your financial service company’s name is not imprinted
anywhere on the book (so no “private label”); It is legal and
acceptable to paperclip your card with a note on company notepaper
for your client: The note needs to read something akin to “thought
you’d enjoy this book” or “this book might be of interest to you,”
The language should clearly represent a sentiment but not an
endorsement or implication that your Financial Services firm has
recommended the book; It is legal and acceptable to insert company
information or promotional materials between the pages. Enough
with the Legalese… ExecuSpeak Dictionary -

kept and appreciated. OK - I’ll cut and paste the highlights for
you:
