Anyone who is thinking of investing with an investment advisor would be well advised to read the article above. Investing need not be complicated; I choose to steer my own ship. I have for many years and am more than happy with the results.
If you must seek help only do so with an advisor
1 who charges by the hour
2 who doesn't try to sell you anything
3 who doesn't talk about the current market or trading - your looking for investment help not trading help.
The above are my opinion based on 30 years of investing(not trading).

I too have been making all of my own decisions for about the same length of time and couldn't be happier with the results, despite the fact that I have been through 3 major market crashes. And I completely agree that investing need not be complicated.
I guess I broke a lot of rules by never being in a mutual fund; I just pick my own stocks. Lately, I feel as though I should be more diversified but I'll stick with what I have until it's time to take some profits off the table. Then when the next buying cycle comes around, I'll search for some new names to add to my list.
