Home Forums Miscellaneous Topics Stock Market and Investing Move Money out of Edward Jones?

I had 3 " financial advisors". The first one didn't know anything. Chrged 4.25% for a Franklin bond fund ( FKUSX).. It lost money when the stock market was going very well in 2011. The next one was asl at a bank. He sold me franklin funds with another 4% load... At least he diversified. The next one was so awful that I left after 2 yrs. I still track his funds he sold me and most are still doing terrible to this day and I left in 2015. I have Fidelity, I can buy anything for almost nothing , very little ex. ratio , no load and a dollar to sell a stock. They charge a few cents per thousand to sell a stock. I am not keeping up with the market , especially after last year . The market gained 25% last yr. and I only gained 3.6% . However, in 2022 , the market lost 19% and I gained 6%.. so, I ma steady. Most years though I am very close to the S&P 500. I have stocks, Stock ETF's and some Bond ETF's.
