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.

      Why would we not be contenders? As long as Bryce plays like he did when he came back, we absolutely can be contenders...that is...   if the defense plays better... which is why adding someone like Ramsey when we have a QB on a rookie deal and can afford it makes sense IMO. No one thought of the Commanders being contenders last year or the Texans the year before and so on and so forth. Top-end QB play, especially for a guy on a rookie deal, changes everything in terms of timelines. Regardless of what this board thinks, I hope the front office is willing to he aggressive in thks window we currently have with a rookie QB deal

      Would absolutely love to have him. I dont think he would require more than a 5th rounder. The biggest thing with his contract is the amount of guaranteed money. As long as they can work out and scenario where the Panthers aren't on the hook for a lot of that, I think it's a no-brainer. The Panthers can come up with $20M at the drop of a hat with restructuring Moton's contract, so there definitely isn't an issue from a money perspective. Jaycee paired with Ramsey along with Mike Jack would give us one of the best CB groups in the league. The one caveat I see is that safety still remains our biggest current weakness. We need a starting caliber S more than CB, simply put. But adding someone like Ramsey would be amazing as long as the compensation made sense. Ramsey could also play for FS snaps also. I also dont understand this nonsense about being seasons away. We have a QB on a rookie deal who was playing at an elite level to end last season. Within reason, now is absolutely the time to make moves like trading for Ramsey.

      He'd be a huge upgrade for this year, but we're still not going to be contenders with him and I'd rather keep the cap space to roll into next season to spend on a younger player who can be an impact starter for us for the next 3-5 years while we're hoping to contend.
