As noted, my take on Edward Jones is what I get from a knowledgeable insider. They are not publicly traded, but are employee owned and I do know they have had tremendous growth since their founding in 1922. Doubt they would have the staying power and growth without a high code of ethics. Since they strictly trade for client portfolios I assume their fee structure would be based on portfolio size. Not for me, but there are lots of folks out there that really need this type of service. I use Schwab and really don't object to the $4.95 fee for a trade. It's usually fractional of the trade value, and they are entitled to a profit.
