What do you mean by 'already'?  Wasn't that supposed to be out two years ago?

Don’t forget the diversification trips…they are awesome. nothing like being away from home listening to some punk that was handed a big book. Ignorance is bliss.

LP offerings came out last week and this week. According to my buddies still at Jones.  

The catch is .... it really is a reservation of sorts, until Jones actually decides how to pay out. So if you received some 3 years ago and/or this last week, Jones says they have the interest meter running and you will have earned that interest without the 25% deposit. You will be payed that interest upon deposit time. Which is when????????? Anyone know?

Edward Jones…The Dollar General of Wall Street"

I was told that EDJ has a broad band connection to the branches, my question is do the employees still have a $1300 communication fee on the P&L statement? I pay $55 per month. Edward Jones …The Best Sales Force in The World!

You haven’t been around in a while jonesescapee, did you just break out of the mental hospital?  You should really try and get back on your meds.

jonesescapee, what is your beef with jones? obviously your not with
them anymore, so why do you care? I don’t understand why you are still
talking about them even though your gone. Are you bored?, give it a
break. I have read all the posts and I know plenty of people with Jones
and those at other firms as well. You would think that at whatever
point your at, and age you are that you would be doing other things
perhaps more productive.

Incompetence When you earnestly believe you can compensate for a lack of skill by doubling your efforts, there's no end to what you can't do.   (Visit www.edwarjones.com)

Yea that link didn't work, guess your incompetent.

Might help if Starka learned to spell, it’s edwardjones.com

What is the larger offense–not realizing that the letter D was omitted from Edwardjones.com or not knowing that the word “your” is not correctly used in the sneer, “…guess your incompetent.”

Both are offensive, but the latter is the larger offense.  However, you did not phrase your question in the form of a question.  That is, you did not put the “?” symbol at the end of the statement.  So, you too are offensive.  Those of us that have mastered the use of punctuation in the language (this thread obviously excluded) use those little marks to signify if we are asking, telling, exclaiming etc.

The only time that matters to me is on the ACAT paperwork.  And even at that, as long as the losing firm is 0057, the spelling point is moot.

Anyway, thanks for playing.

Actually it’s your continued presence that I find most offensive of all…

The irony of it all.  I love when Put/Newbie/Devil slings his holier than thou crap, only to make THE SAME TYPE OF MISTAKE.

Sad sack indeed.

jonesescapee, the WSJ said Weddle made 6.8mm last yr, does that piss you off?

  In some ways yes it does make me angry, envious..whatever.  They distribute info on a monthly basis about profit, bonus brackets, blah blah blah.  We still have inadequate technology, expensive healthcare costs and a huge number of segment 3 brokers on a tightrope, trying not to fail.  I look at my region numbers and count 19 of the 50+ offices being less than 30 months. The number of total offices in my region doesn't grow..just holds steady.  But superstar Weed dle can have a good time enjoying his 40 car garage why many hardworking individuals come and go through the system.  Throw as many as they can against the wall and hope enough stick!! Lovely!!

I believe Weed dle is similiar to President Bush.  Bush has Iraq, where death is part of the equation of trying to reach a goal.  Weed dle has EDJs’ model of ruining many IR’s financial health before getting someone to stick in an office(goal).  Sacrifice many for the gain of a few…train, fail, move on. Train, fail, move on. Train, fail, move on…Train, fail, move on…Train and they finally stick.  Work a few years and move to Indy.  Train, fail, move on. Train, fail, move on!! They say Bush is out of touch…Weed dle is like the nut in North Korea…sitting in his big office surfing the web looking for cars to buy…while his sales staff is barely feeding itself and their families.  I would love to do a study on the negative financial impact this model has had on the many individuals who pass through this system!
