Edward Jones sides with electing Clinton in November.

We visited our broker today, he one you have to do once a year. While there he paged through some of the info he gets almost hourly from their home office. One of the items caught my eye. "For investors who want market growth, they should vote to elect the Democrat as President. For those who are looking for lower taxes, vote for the Republican." The market almost always does much better under Democratic leadership."

I know we all know that, but I was pleased to see that a brokerage house was recommending their clients be advised of that too. I'm certainly pleased because the majority of EJ's clients are looking for market growth. I HOPE this little unsolicited suggestion will help Hillary & other Dems down ballot.
