Edward Jones Worldcom edward Jones Ripoff St. Louis Missouri

Listen, you don't have a clue about the case or specifics so please don't pretend to understand and comment on something with your insipid simpleton wise cracks.

First of all as an Edward Jones Representive licensed by NASD now called FINRA you have a duty to not knowlingly act fraudulently.  Suppose the Rep at the time of suggesting and introducing Worldcom is without the client/customer secretly using his office/agency to day trade that particular stock?  Yes that is right, I had no idea he was day trading or even allowed to be making purchases and sells all day long commission free while he was using reps from American Funds and his office to put on a slick show for common investors.  Isn't it even worse when he knows I'm going to get an injury settlement and he is recommending Worldcom and daytrading but not telling me he is daytrading or even allowed?  He also altered fraudulently my income and assets in order to make the purchases.

As you may or may not know one is binded to arbitration where one has to pay an arbitor fee to even file a claim against a broker/rep/or agency Mr. smarty pants.  And even then prove your case and maybe be left with zero.  Yeah you go read the prospectus and make an informed decision yourself clown.  I eventually settled for .10cents on the dollar seven yrs later and now am bankrupt. You sound like a biased financial rep person or shill for someone else.

Unfortunately, the financial fields and industry is a giant scam and people are defrauded everyday.Funny how Goldman Sachs can cause an economic meltdown and not even one person is under indictment and doesn't all the good ole' boys from Goldmans work for Federal Reserve, FINRA etc.The fact is that many reps try to be ethical and are trying to help people.  However there are reps that are committing fraud and their employer and government agencies do nothing but protect them and it is fraud.

You really are in trouble if your broker recommended worldcom, enron and bear-sterns. I'd find a new broker.

It is unfortunate that you and many others lost lots of money as a result of the fradulence of Time-Warner, not Edward Jones. You have no claim against Edward Jones - the information they showed/provided to you was not a promise or contract for anything and should have stated the risks involved in any investment you make with any financial institution.
