Hey! No need to go all judgey. The condescension in that post is amusing.....in the biz you were you say? Interesting, but no reason to take umbrage with investors who choose a different way. Boomer Last edited by Boomer; 07-17-2022 at 08:13 PM. Reason: needed editing |

I have never purchased an individual stock, only mutual funds. I believe in investing in the broad stock market indexes, but I never considered individual stock ownership to be anything like being a part owner in a successful company.
For example, McDonald's sells millions of hamburgers every day and they make money on every one of them. So, why does their stock value go down when the overall stock market goes down? |

Interesting choice of ETFs.. i own some of them .. Most have gotten murdered along with the market. ETFs are not a problem re tax time. MLPs .. which generate K-1's give some people agita, and give tax preparers second homes and boats because folks don;t like to mess with them. ETFs can invest in MLPs, which is perhaps how the confusion started. Regarding the market in general, I like Dennis Gartman's line: In a bear market, he who loses the least wins. Re hiring an advisor who has a PHD, I could care less. There are plenty of academically brilliant people who don;t have an ounce of common sense. Were I to hire a financial advisor again (which I wont) I would go for a battle and time tested person who has successfully weathered ups and downs vs someone with academic credentials..

I don’t know who Dennis Gartman is, but I really like that line of his you quoted. “In a bear market, he (or she ) who loses the least wins.” Boomer Last edited by Boomer; 07-17-2022 at 08:12 PM. Reason: needed editing |

Far as fidelity, a big plus, unlike the others with mon to fri 9-5 hours you can reach PEOPLE not a COMPUTER 24 hours a day seven days a week. The Villages they have an office in Lake Sumter a golf cart ride away for many of us. Fidelity now has no commission trades if you do on line trading. I like the Fidelity statement the best-perhaps because I do most of my trading there and I am more used to it. |
