There is a Schwab office in LSL and Robin Morgan is the first you see when you walk in the door. A knowledgeable and helpful person
I have been in a Schwab managed account for several years and found it to be the best thing for me. It allows me to not have to worry about my investments as there is a great diversity. I still retain my Schwab broker from CT, as he has always given me great advice. He takes the time to listen to one's goals and then advises me what is best for me, and not him. I found him to be very ethical.
Liz AnnSonders, (VP Investments at Schwab), was one of the few people who predicted the stock market downfall several years ago. I got out, when it started to free fall, and got back in, when the market starting heading up. It is now double the value, of when I jumped back in.
I realize some people, who are more knowledgeable than me, want to invest themselves. To each his/her own.
Wish you the best with your investments.
