The number one fund family for Ed Jones is American Funds, and has been for 20 years. I have heard of young reps getting fired for selling too much non-American Funds.........

How much money was involved?

I eventually asked him what it would cost me to get into $10,000 or so of an ETF index fund or a no transaction cost vanguard fund through him. Vanguard funds weren't available and a $10,000 order would cost $100 in commission. That is when I decided huge commissions and lack of fund choices didn't serve me as an investor so I dumped him in favor of vanguard and fidelity.

yeah, they are NOT a discount broker. Also, they have a limited number of funds to sell.

Yup, they can only sell the ones with the largest commissions, makes sense to me.

IIRC, $3000 for an IRA. Maybe $6000 if it was funded for 2 years. Today that is small potatoes, so I'm not overly worried about fixing it in a hurry.

All the load funds are about 5.75% on purchases under $25,000.

Maybe it was a time in your life when you were very busy, and thought you needed some help. Then, you found out he/she wasn't very helpful, provided no value, and just collected the 12b-1 trails, and you moved on........... .
