Default Re: Ask me about selling/trading derivatives for \'retail\' clients

PCS is private client sales.
Most derivatives are pretty vanilla at heart, to design a 'new' one you're normally talking about the math/physics PhD's who are off on another floor somewhere geeking out.

Skill set for a salesperson: smart, knowledgable & well-read in general, expert on your asset class[es], honest, like working with people, ability to think on feet and deal with stressful situations, able to talk about other topics - 'How does drop in price of oil affect USTs affect USDollar, and if economy slows what does that do to price of USD/Yen.'
Able to control both fear and greed of self and client.
