Recommended Posts

I see you deleted it....I was in the middle of replying.

Here is what I was trying to post: (I'm posting cuz now you've got me curious)

I go through the same company you do.

I forget the reason/name for all the new rules. Advisory Solutions or something?

Anyway...why are you worried about "what you put on a message board" ?? You are anonymous, right? And if you are not....like...what's the worry? Some geek is gonna storm your account? Just curious.

I heard on TV that silver is going to $200. They were experts so all my money is wrapped up in silver....

The way I understand it, I wont be deciding shtt like that. It will spread out through a bunch of companies in case one fails, I don't lose my ass. I will barely even feel it it is spread out that much.

 

I do not understand it at all. I always thought IRAs and ROTH IRAs were different from Mutual Funds. It sure did not seem that way when my Edward Jones guy explained anyway. I am probably misunderstanding something...... Fock, this sucks....

I'm not an expert. My EJ guy cuts it to me straight. He is a friend from H.S. I think an IRA and a Roth IRA are "holding places" for Mutual funds. Those are my words, not his.

 

So why not sit down with him (your EJ guy), and ask the questions flat out?

One of my best friends is a Jones rep. What was this about? I invest through him.

Actually, that makes perfect sense now that you say it. I have already had two long meetings with the EJ guy where he is explaining all of this. I guess it is just mostly over my head......It seems like it makes perfect sense when he talks about it and literally draws it out on a piece of paper and uses a PC to how me shtt. I like the guy and seem like I know what I am doing somewhat when I leave, but after a couple days, I lose all confidence and think the end of the world scenarios. lol.... FAIL

I started a thread and was worried I may have put out to much information. So I deleted it. I am just wondering about Edward Jones guys and the new rules and how confident folks are basically.

So much to explain to you. You are right, this is the wrong forum for info. If you trust your guy, go for it.

 

One thing. The rule of thumb is you can take 4% of your account balance each year and not jeopardize running out of money before your death. THIS IS NOT A GUARANTEE HOWEVER. IF YOUR BROKER TELLS YOU OTHERWISE YOU CAN TELL HIM/HER TO GO POUND SAND.

:thumbsup: Right. Pretty much exactly what he told me. Said some years, it might be more, some years, might be less. He made it clear that was basically just the average. Thanks
