Good luck on finding anybody good to manage your portfolio. I 1st looked for 1 over 3 decades ago. I had a good friend that was vp of Smith Barney and he wanted me to sell all of my stuff to move everything into a couple Smith Barney funds. Same went for a Fidelity guy, was going to is all fidelity funds. Tried again with a credit union brokerage fund and he wanted to invest in Oppenheimer funds that had a 5% load.
I was doing my own stuff back then and after all these interviews, i doubled down to learn all i can about how to invest, subscribed to all the morningstar technical monthly publications on stocks/funds, and read dozens and dozens of books from Bogle, Cramer, motley fool, and many others.
I save tens of thousands of $$$ per year, over $600,000 every 10 years that i do this stuff myself. It’s never too late to learn.
