I now have a Roth Ira account and need some expertise on what investments I should look into.

Any advice would be appreciated since im a dufus when it comes to stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and so forth.

I understand the concepts but honestly have no clue in what bonds, what funds, and what stocks I should invest in.

Thanks.

that was the plan. Just wanted to see if anybody had anything informative to say.

obviously not ;)

You shouldn't expect anything less.

Normally anyone who does know would work for a brokerage firm, but its also not recommended you give out financial advice to anyone who is not a client/if you don't have your 7/63. They can tell you what the are and the differences, but can't directly advise you to invest in them.

Pstall would probably be your best bet on here I just don't know how much he could help without knowing how much you have, if you want to diversify, etc.

Unless you are going to spend some time learning and researching you can ignore 99% of the market such as :commodities, individual equities, options. You can ask me when to buy and sell oil and I will make you some money.

So you are looking at ETFs, stock funds and maybe bond funds.

The easiest thing to do would be to buy ETFs that mimic the major indices. SPY mimics the S&P 500. So if you buy a share of SPY you are basically investing in the entire S&P 500. You can also do this with the Nasdaq, the Dow.

Similarly every advisor will have a large cap fund or a dividend fund. Many people believe that large stocks with steady dividends are the way to go over the next 5 years.

If you are really lazy you can just stop there and it will not hurt you over the long run.

Next up is to get some exposure to other areas of the world. China, emerging markets, South America. Do some research and decide if you think America is going to grow over the next 2 decades or if someplace like India is a better place in which to invest. There will be a fund for whatever you want.

You can hone in on other segments such as small business, pharma, anything you are interested in.

Is that the the of stuff you wanted?

For specific advice i would want to know the timeframe, how much you will be putting in each year etc.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion)

      Should definitely look to trade him in the offseason. Some team will fork over draft picks thinking they can turn his career around, especially considering what happened to Mayfield and Darnold after they left here. I think a lot of people will be surprised at how high of a pick he would fetch too. There's a dozen guys you could bring in to match (or exceed) Bryce's production for 1/10th of what his 5th year option is going to cost. Let some other dumb team pay that (and ship us draft picks for the privilege). Dump Dalton too while you're at it, start the QB room over from scratch.
