Personally, I think Ed Jones has to be the worst investment managment company out there. I have my own personal account that I manage and during these troubled times have gained 2%. My Ed Jones large account has lost 55% and going down still. And, one has to pay really high loads to make buys and sells and a managing fee. If I knew then what I know now I would have RAN away when solicited by Dead Head Jones. Another problem that I have had is when I need to make a buy or sell my broker can never be reached. So I am usually buying high or selling low. In fact I asked to make a buy on Exxon a few weeks ago when the price was 76. and when I got the buy order in the mail I paid 80.! Ed Jones dosn't know what real time investing is. The managers are too interested in taking money than they are in real research of the companies that they solicite or in really taking care of the client.
