Sorry, meant to reply to JimsJim who seemed to not be very pleased with his Edward Jones experience.....I was only responding to what little I knew of E Jones from an executive in the firm who is absolutely honorable. However, as noted, one bad employee can have a very negative impact on an otherwise reputable company
Jim posted #20130...................

I finally got tired of him and began to shut the door, saying I didn't really care that much about share price on
any stocks I owned except when I bought them. His eyes widened. He began to tell me that I should rethink that position and let him take a look at my PFs because he could help me make a lot more money.

So I told him that he was probably wrong, that the reason I don't care about share price gains very much is because I practice a hybridized form of DGI investing. He didn't know what DGI meant, so I explained the basic premise in a couple short sentences and he still didn't quite grasp the concept. I mentioned Miller's book as my jumping off point and I think he thought I belong to some sort of cult.

He repeated his question "did I want him to pass on some pointers and maybe some stock tips when he came across them." I said, "no, but maybe you should read the book and maybe I could help you." The dog was still going nuts, so I told him "welcome to the neighborhood and to let me know if he wanted my help -- after reading Miller's book" and shut the door.

He rang the bell again, sending my dog bouncing off the walls and ceiling. He wanted my name (but not phone number interestingly) and jotted it down.

I feel sorry for his clients.
