    Brokerage license is a whole different ball game, it takes a bond, which you put up in cold cash, no bondsman will touch them anymore, or at least when I got mine they wouldn't.
    Back then, you had to put up a 10,000 dollar bond through a bondsman, but they required the whole 10 grand to do the bond, I have heard it is higher now, but do not know for sure.
