Last I checked, it is still the biggest black eye and source of embarassment to serious professionals in this industry.  The office nearest to my home recently closed.  So, that’s what I know is up.

Only if it’s next to a Subway.

lol...I just couldn't resist.

Dude,

Considering how many current Jones brokers, former Jones brokers, and disgusted (or jealous) competitors there are out there, I think you're pissing in the wind, my friend...

Indy,

Allow me my delusions, please.

If you want to be self-delusional, then you should go to work for Edward D. Jones. 

Ouch, I’m getting hit from all directions. 

Met with a prospect on Wed who has been working with EJ for 7 years. He has ‘rebalanced’ his portfolio 3 times in those 7 years. his broker first had putnam, then van kampen???, then on to american funds… of course, the broker recommended A shares bercause ‘they are cheaper’. the p[rospect was pissed when i explained what had happenned and why. i left the paperwork with him, i called today and he told me the package was on its way… a nice 180k account…

Nice work.  What are you going to put him in?
