Before providing any investment advisory services, and as appropriate thereafter, makes a reasonable inquiry of the client as to the financial situation, investment experience, and investment objectives of the client; and 2. Reasonably determines that the investment advisory services are suitable for the client based upon the information obtained from the client in accordance with subsection (A)(1) above. B.
