    Options trading?

    1) That depends on what you are looking to do. If you are managing your own account then there is no need to be regulated. If you are looking to advise clients on what to trade or manage other peoples money then you need to be regulated. 2) Who are you trading options with at the moment? There...

    Webinar vs. Seminar. What will you prefer?

    I think it depends on what product you are selling and you who are trying to sell to. In my opinion Younger people = webinar Older people = seminar Business customers = seminar
