• I feel like if you like dividends, you should be scooping up some BTI right now

  Down 27+%... But the sentiment is generally "Very Bullish" according to the research page of BTI on fidelity.com. That and a 10% annual div smell like a buy to me... Source: 5 months ago

• Friendly reminder that the corrupt system wants you to fall into the doom spending trap

  I was broke but landed my first real job about 30 years ago. It was a slow night shift so I started looking a wealthy people and what made them wealthy. It all was investing. They worked so they could invest. So I started. I did first with my 401k. It is through Fidelity. Here is the catch. Fidelity tools for investment research on-line are open to everyone at no charge. I did this, except with the... Source: 5 months ago

• Confirmation of Another Email Address

  I received an email from fcgf@fmr.com. Is that a legitimate Fidelity address? Why don't you just use fidelity.com, which would leave no doubt? It is inconvenient to check all these weird email addresses you use. Source: 5 months ago

• What to do with extra $13k as a 20 year old

  Go to betterment.com and put it in their cash reserve. You'll get a good interest rate that should help at least reduce some inflation risk. Source: 11 months ago

• Financially illiterate

  If you want a less frightening way to invest, betterment.com was my gateway into investing. It has a pre-selected basket of index funds and bonds, and you can just select your risk tolerance, set up a deposit schedule, and they take care of the rest. I started with $10/paycheck 11 years ago, and now I have almost $20,000 invested as I kept increasing my automated deposits as my salary grew. Source: about 1 year ago

• Weekly note about a direct competitor outdoing M1+

  Also about Betterment: they too started offering crypto at exactly the wrong time, but unlike M1 they have the decency to hide it from view! If I go to betterment.com now, I don't see any reference to crypto on the main page unless you scroll all the way down to the site map at the bottom. That's something else that M1+ could offer:.

• Moving out at 18, no idea how to be an adult.

  Lastly sign up for a free investment app like acorns, betterment.com, robin hood etc. Once you've got your budget setup dump everything else into those when combined with your credit card buffer you can always pull back out or preferrably reduce next months investments if you find yourself low on funds one month.

• Newbie Question - Investment Account

  There are muuuuuuch better options today that Edward Jones. Your "local guy" makes a living adding maintenance costs to your account. The original poster here could do really well by checking out betterment.com and just following the on-screen prompts (they offer IRAs, too). Next time you meet with your local guy, ask him how much (the exact dollar amount) he's made from the fees on your investment account...and... Source: almost 2 years ago
