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.

      Bryce Young Is Terrible

      McMillan could've caught that TD but whatever. Chuba, the specialists and, that's about it for being absolved. Horn made a great pick. The defensive line and linebackers may as well not exist. I think Dan might've hit on a WR pick finally, but no one else was of any value, per usual.

      Don’t piss on my leg and tell me it’s raining.

      This is probably one of the only real quotables that stuck with me from my dad growing up, and now, I don’t think there’s a more fitting motto for our Carolina Panthers except they’re the ones that’s doing the pissing and telling.  They ARE pissing on our legs and saying it’s the rain. We’ve wasted two additional years in Bryce after knowing what he was from his rookie year.  No contingency plan in place.  But, plenty of fake hype about a few lightning fast glimmers of hope in contrast to the consistent, large sample size of work that he had showing he was not an NFL starting QB.  Look at the defense - where guys like Morgan, instead of addressing a position of weakness, spends the offseason telling us how great Trevin Wallace is.  How much trust they have in a guy like Cherelus(sp?).  How much they’re counting on young edge rushers Princely and Scourton…  then we get into a meaningful game and Wallace is abhorrent.  Horrible.  Disgustingly bad.  Rozeboom looks horrible.  Constantly missing tackles and out of position.  The rookie edge rushers?  I don’t even know if they played today.  And we still generate zero pressure for most of the game.     All this organization does now is LIE.  To us, to themselves. All they do is shill.  It’s a con job.  They know their product is poo, but listen to how great it is.  Believe us!
