I buy individual stocks and tax free and taxable bonds from many countries. Some brokerage accounts I have are managed and I pay a fee based on value of portfolio, but no commissions. Other accounts are traditional. I also have an online trading account for cheap trades I pick myself. Have been using a stock picking service for awhile WSS, but I think my one ideas pay off at least as well with no cost. You don't need an investment advisor to find high dividend payers. Food is always good. and utilities. Just set a stop loss so you don't lose all your money. The days of the 5.5% passbook are over.

Pardon the typing, my right arm in sling after rotator cuff surgery last week.
