Quotes
[09:28] - "I think the Gen X consumer is the big opportunity for the next 10 years. When you work your way through the data, you realize Gen X will save and invest more money than will baby boomers and millennials combined in the next 10 years. There's a lot of buzz about millennials and how they're so influential and all that, but in dollars and cents in the next 10 years, there's a lot about the Gen X investor." - Chip Roame
[18:22] - "A lot of firms have just discovered how fast the RIA market is growing and then they're doing one of three things. They're either going to be the RIA, they're going to be a custodian to the RIA, or they're going to be a bigger product provider to the RIA." - Chip Roame
[27:49] - "I don't think small advisors are really as threatened as everyone says they are. I do believe in consolidation. I don't believe that small advisors are in trouble." - Chip Roame
