if youd like to pick small caps then yes. ed jones has no tolerance for risk and must follow corporate guidelines. we had some money with them and i brought in a few stocks that the ed jones rep attempted to discourage buying in due to uncertainity. ostk (pre giantic runup) amtd (on divvy) sears (on bottom fishing) but per ed jones and there guidelines and recs that are all in this stupid system they saw these as not logical plays.

ed jones is a place for old women to put money. IMO.

stock_rancher,

Not really sure what you're asking but I'll put in my two cents worth in FWIW. My in-laws and my folks both use Ed Jones to govern their respective retirement portfolios. I myself sat down with them years ago to discuss trading options with them. I will tell you that from the onset they made it clear that a conservative approach is the key to their game i.e., OTC stocks practically non-existant and pinkies are out of the question. At least that was the impression I received here at my local branch.

On the flip-side- they have managed my relatives finances quite well IMO with their more conservative approach. {I'm younger so I would rather take more risk of course, but that's just me}. My exposure is limited as you can see, but, I still think that if you are drawn to the riskier aspect of investing I'm not sure Ed Jones is the route. But then again, what do I know? I work in medicine :) Hope it helps
