My Edward Jones account has me at an estimated 6.8% annual growth over the next 30yrs. And they are pround of it. They REALLY dont like it when tell them that their returns are horrible. I think they are about tired of me calling in there trying to do something different with my money. I just can't believe that I can't have my money where I want
Nice move. Should at least get it to 16-16.5. Hourly charts are still bearish but looking at the daily/weekly we should be good for a pullback there.
Is that common to require a certain % or is that an EJ thing?
I think the only international I own is PBR and PBR.A.
I dabble in futures. Specifically Future Options on Mini/Micro S&P500, Oil, Metals, and also get Forex exposure through Futures (i.e. /6A, /6E, /6J). Been slowly transitioning out of holding stock to Futures over the last 6 months.
Any total international fund will do fine. VTIAX or the equivalent is the default. Be sure to check the fees, it should be cheap (<0.2%/year, may be hard to do at EJ).
Thanks. But that is what I am trying to get away from in my account. The returns on those is miserable.
I would take the Warren Buffett approach to foreign stocks although EJ might not give you a choice.
They have me by the balls unfortunately. I can't move the money away from them without a 25% penalty.
Good advice...and instead of a Mutual fund...I would go the ETF route for the tax benefits.
