I've been observing the "dissident" movement of Mssrs. Davidson and Co. for some time. The only thing that qualifies them as dissidents is their hatred of anything or anyone that takes away from their soapbox. These guys are irrelevant, I voted for them largely due to the absence of anyone else on the ticket that wasnt a hack of the NASD. I actually laughed out loud when I read one of Davidson's posts that he "started the dissident movement". I've been at meetings with him. He likes the Four Seasons, He likes the First Class tickets, and he doesant like anyone who doesnt agree with him. I've also known Mr. Sobel for awhile. He's smart, eloquent and can drink a beer with the best. He's also honest and will decide a case on its merits. Throw the bums out and give us a real mensch. Can we get Sobel's Bio posted?

They can speak very well on certain issues but if you do not agree with them they attack you and its only been a matter of time before they bit the hand that feeds them. The sipa needs to be very careful when affiliating with groups like Davidson's. I will however put my vote to Sobel. This is what you get for listening to those jerks.

In addition, due to his law backgound I believe he can bring legal expertise on behalf of the industry to the NAC instead of FINRA filling up the NAC with their side of legal opinion You are correct…I believe I failed to include David’s history which includes writing tickets as a broker and then switching to the compliance side so he has a complete comprehension of the industry and the struggles everyone faces.
