this is advice that you should not follow. I meet clients like this all day who swear up and down that they get better returns investing by themselves. Then I look at the returns and laugh.

you trade etfs, ok. Let me ask you

1) how is your portfolio correlated? is it positive, negative, or non? Do you know why this is important?

2)what are the beta and sharpe ratios associated with your portfolio?

3)What types of risk is your portfolio susceptible to given your current investment strategy and how will you hedge this risk

i can go on and on

Goto a financial advisor and let them help you, do not try to do this on your own.

S&P 500 ETF or dividend paying blue chips. re-invest the dividends into more shares and you'l be sitting pretty in 15-20 years because of all that compounded interest

Find a nice mutual fund with a 10 year track record or longer. I would put the entire 10k in there.

I don't even know what most of that shyt means. All I know is I get good ass returns that outperform the S&P500 for only a fraction of the cost I would pay to a financial advisor.

I see why though. Sites like sharebuilder and e-trade are taking your customers and making people in your profession irrelevant. What would a pay a grip to a financial advisor for when I can just sign up to to sharebuilder, build a custom made portfolio suited to my investment desires for $9.99 a month?

Threadstarter, don't listen to this guy. He's a middleman trying to cut into your profits. Open a sharebuilder account and let them walk you through setting up an ETF investment plan.

breh, i don't charge a "grip" to give any advice. Yes, there are fees I charge but only if a client opts for an investment advisory program. I gaurantee if i pick 10 funds and you pick 10 funds I will generate a better return than you.

at this dude trying to give advice and having no idea what he is talking about.

Lol...you know what I'm saying is true. That's why your first reply was so sensitive. Online trading sites are taking your customers. I don't know as much about investing as you, but I can get sharebuilder to do the same job you do for a fraction of the cost.

I understand why you though. You trying to eat so you don't want people to learn this info.

see your confusing day trading with financial advice.

people who like to trade in stocks would do well with a platform like etrade or scottrade etc.

However, what i do is prepare financial plans based upon a clients goals, time, and objective. You cannot acurately do that with those platforms, so no, those online platforms have not been taking my clients.

You can claim you know what your doing, but i say to you again, i will choose 10 fund and you can choose 10 funds and i guarantee my portfolio will perform better than yours.

Nah, you're mistaken. Sharebuilder is not just for daytraders. I don't daytrade at all. They have tools where they build a long-term investment plan for you based on what you're looking for. And you can change it at any time.

Yo this Hurricane Sandy shyt might present some opportunities. I am about to drop 10-15 on some safe stocks (Google, Apple etc)

once again, i'll let you choose 10 funds and i will choose 10 funds and i gaurantee i will generate a higher return.
