I encourage you to reconsider the requirement of having a securities license when selling indexed annunities.

In my case, I am an independent agent and I sell only a few indexed annuities each year, but added to other lines of insurance, I make a good income.

It would be troublesome and expensive for me to secure a securities license just to sell a few indexed annuities each year.

If I didn't get a license, it would reduce my income somewhat.
