That is the thing, he was doing great for me.

You and I have always had very civil discourse. I have always appreciated that. We might not agree on some things but it has always been a pleasure.

I see your point but I'm not ready to "throw the baby out with the bath water" so to speak. I think there are a lot of good guys on the MEC. If the MEC Admin is doing something the MEC doesn't like, then the MEC needs to take care of that.

The true problem we, as a union, have...........is apathy. And I'm just as guilty of it as the next person. We need 12000 members giving 12000 opinions to their reps. Unfortunately my guess is that very few people do this on a regular basis.

Anyway, a better union alternative (IMO) has not come forward so we have what we have and need to improve it.

Edward Jones expects their franchisees to tow the party line. If he went off the reservation, even a little, he's done. EJ, IMO, is a hedge fund-ish business. They expect the little people to maneuver the market for them.

Your guy is not supposed to think for himself. If he did, that's a no no.

And the number 1 reason you should never 'hire" a financial advisor that works for a "firm"

Hire someone who can do what is right for you, not for their paycheck.

Had a one trip worth 5:15 get messed up and it was 23K.

My time card now shows 23K and then 4:52pay, 452 credit and its closed.

Any ideas?

I like Dave Ramsey, he's spoken at our church, he seems to know what he's talking about but I had some friends get badly burned on the get out of debt at all cost advice.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but sometimes to me the game is rigged because we're all late adopters even if you adopt on day 1.

And I've never forgotten John Stossel throwing darts against the S&P 500 and doing better than the professionals. I also heard of uneducated prisoners beating the professional stock people as well in a competition, because they realized it's just gambling and they were keen gamblers.

No matter what, nothing I have has done better than this:

Now if you're getting one of those $1500 financial advisors that looks at everything you have and helps you out, that to me is probably worth it.

I trust Warren Buffet's advice for the average investor: Avoid the fees. No one has been able to beat the market over the long run. Invest in low-fee index funds.

He's probably right. But I hope he gets hit by one of his own trains. Rotten man.
