Edward Jones , Sean ****** advisor , Was with him for over 5 years , was good in the beginning , then he got greedy and was changing bad investments into other bad investments just so he could take his cut , which drained ME of over $80,000 , which negated all of the years I was with him and RUINED MY RETIREMENT. Now all I can do is just sit in my house until I die !
