I have a sum of money in a money market account earning 5.25% through Ed Jones.
I will need this money for things like a roof, house repairs, payment on a house if I move etc.
It’s also where my distributions come from.
My e jones guy is always trying to get me to put a portion of it in the stock market.
I already have another bucket of $ in the stock market with him.
So I tell him again and again I will need this money & don’t need to lose it in the market.
He says I’m missing out on returns.
Heck if he doesn’t stop I’ll just take a chunk out & put it somewhere else in a money market or right into my bank account so he won’t have it to worry about anymore.
Why do y’all think he does this – so he can make Ed Jones more money?
CsillaHe is getting commission. Move your money. Betterment for example, has cash reserve account paying 5% and you can move in and out of your money whenever you wish.
Betterment also has robo advised brokerage.
GuyEdward Jones is as bad as payday lenders! Read a few books on the subject and you will make a lot more money on your money.
There is a reason why Las Vegas looks the way it does and there is a reason why there is an Edward Jones on every street corner.
TySome Financial’s do not pay for funds in a money market. He is most likely just trying to have it invested somewhere that he makes a buck
AliciaIt may appear too conservative to have that much as cash for your total portfolio— or else he’s just not listening to your needs/goals for those dollars.
Although I’d also argue, that even if you need it for a new roof, invested still makes you more money, and you can still get to your money within 3-4 days.
MarkUr already getting ripped off being woth EJ. short term savings and emergency fund should live in any Hysa or mmf.
All other available dollars should be invested
