| Posted: 02 Feb 2018 04:58 PM PST I posted this five years ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/investing/comments/yn9oy/my_financial_advisor_ignored_my_request_to_invest/?st=JD6MWPZL&sh=cf56827a (Sorry for the crap link—I'm on mobile and don't know all the mobile tricks that make links not reprehensible) I'm posting because I have received a few PMs in the past asking me for an update. I haven't received any in awhile but I thought I'd provide an update in case anyone remembers or might be interested. I found an attorney who took the suit about four years ago. Attorneys settled out of court with Wells Fargo for about 90k. One third went to attorneys fees, I think another third to taxes, and the remainder helped me settle after moving for grad school and take care of some car stuff. Whatever I netted was quickly exhausted. I'm disgruntled still because the lawsuit was not fair compensation. And for what it's worth, what I had originally invested was about the amount of student loans I have right now. Edit: thanks for all of your feedback, insight, and humor. I appreciate it all, especially the kindness and respect of everyone's responses (and being more specific, thanks for not calling me a complete idiot for my naïveté and lack of education in this field).

| 200,000 jobs created in January. Wages at 2.9% YoY. 10 year at 2.83% Posted: 02 Feb 2018 06:21 AM PST The basics. 200,000 jobs in January. 24,000 net reduction in December and November reports. 2.9% wage growth YoY. 4.1% unemployment, unchanged. 62.7% participation rate, unchanged. Overall its a pretty solid report in my opinion. The bond market certainly seems to think this is signally higher inflation. [link] [comments]  |
| Lost all family, received a 600-700k windfall, how would you best invest it? (I'm Canadian) Posted: 02 Feb 2018 06:55 PM PST Hi everyone, I recently lost my mom from cancer in July (sadly the last of my family. Yay being an orphan!) Anyways she left me my grandmothers house which is in Victoria B.C. and the market here is going insane. I don't want to sell, it's been in the family since 1955 but I can't afford to pay bills on it and my options are grim. Either let go, or let go go... If you catch my drift. Because who wants to live without a family? For the past 10 years I was my mom's caregiver and had to quit a lucrative job twice because of it and my work history tho having items like Apple really has not been updated since 2012-2015. What would you invest in to make a happy or any future for yourself if you were to invest $600-700,000 anywhere? A large part of me feels tremendously guilty for receiving this now, especially when so many friends of mine and others are struggling hard. I'd give anything to have my mom back anything. Letting go of the house will be the 2nd hardest thing i've ever had to do. [link] [comments]  |

| How can I be prepared mentally for a bear market? Posted: 02 Feb 2018 07:50 AM PST I started investing in 2013. At the time I had probably $3k. Last year I inherited around $50k and I invested it all. So basically I've never lost a large sum of money, but a 1% drop of my portfolio is almost worth a paycheck (I am a college student). I don't have the money to buy after a dip, so if a significant drop happens, do you have any strategies not to freak out? It's so easy to say "idc about the drops it will eventually go back up" but people that say that have probably never through a bear market. Hopefully my portfolio is 90/10 so I have a little bit of bonds. I was thinking of maybe not logging on my brokerage account for a few months if a crash happened, but I'm sure that some people who have been through 2008 have tips for the rest of us!

| Posted: 02 Feb 2018 04:53 PM PST Holding onto cash = a bet that the market, from the time you decide to hold cash, will not have gone up more than it dips at the time you decide to invest that cash. Thoughts? [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 02 Feb 2018 08:38 PM PST I'm fairly new at investing and just decided to open up a Roth IRA on vanguard. Vanguard offers so many different funds that it can be a little overwhelming for a newbie like me. I was thinking about putting my whole investment into a targeted retirement fund. Is that the right fund to choose? Should I split my investment into different funds? Or should I pick a new fund completely? Any advice is helpful! [link] [comments]  |
| Daily advice thread. All questions about your personal situation should be asked here Posted: 03 Feb 2018 04:05 AM PST If your question is "I have $10,000, what do I do?" or anything similar. There is no single answer to this question, but we will also need A LOT MORE information if we are to give some sort of answer

| Bullish? How much did you pour into the market in January? Posted: 02 Feb 2018 02:06 PM PST Nearly $20K on my end, very carefully placed and averaged in many transactions. How much did you pour into the market this past month? or how much did you get out of the market if you sold? Edit: Make that $21K as of 5 mins ago :) [link] [comments]  |

| Looking for advice on short term investment options for ~50k Posted: 03 Feb 2018 12:33 AM PST Hello, I have done a lot of reading about investing here and elsewhere, and I'm familiar with the ins and outs of ETFs, e-series, CCP approaches, etc. I am also aware of the slightly volatile state of the market right now. My wife and I each have about $25,000 that we want to add to monthly in respective TSFA accounts and grow for around 3-4 years, with the intention of using the money then to help us purchase a house (in a relatively flat market, in a mid-sized town in BC). A TD advisor has recommended a TD-managed fund, the "Comfort Portfolio" or something like that, with an MER of around 2.00 and annual returns of I believe 3.5 to 5% recently (after MER). I am leaning more towards a conservative CCP portfolio of e-series funds based on our banking with TD, our desire to keep MER low, our intention of making monthly contributions, and our desire to make sure (or at least, as sure as one can be) that our money is going to be there in 3-4 years when we want to take it out. I am very appreciative of any advice that you may have. My general goal is to find a relatively safe way to get ~5% growth from this money and our subsequent deposits for the next 3-4 years.

| Posted: 02 Feb 2018 08:04 PM PST I've made a little bit investing. Nothing too much but enough to give. What would you recommend for steady growth? A dividend tech stock? CDs? That would grow a bit for his 25th birthday (currently 1 year old) [link] [comments]  |

| What do you put in your taxable accounts vs your retirement accounts? Posted: 03 Feb 2018 02:23 AM PST I know in general, people suggest putting assets that give high yield and dividends in retirement accounts since they're tax inefficient. But if you have a Roth IRA, then wouldn't stocks be a better choice since they've tended to outperform bonds in the long-run? Alternatively, if you actively trade stocks, would that also be better for an IRA to avoid short-term capital gains? What do you guys do? [link] [comments]  |

| Right time to start investing? Posted: 03 Feb 2018 01:01 AM PST So currently a student at UBC and I just turned 19 this Wednesday (legal age here in BC Canada) and I've been looking for the best broker to use online but as well as seeing if now is a good time to start. Been doing a lot of research in the past 6 months and reading as well, was considering starting with around 1k and maybe add a bit every month or so. 2 questions: - Best broker for Canada ? (International student) - Right time to get in after the 'dip' ? [link] [comments]  |
| They say you learn from your mistakes. Which mistakes have you learned the most from? Posted: 02 Feb 2018 04:32 AM PST I've had my brokerage account for about a year.

| Is SeekingAlpha Pro worth it? Are there better alternatives? Posted: 02 Feb 2018 01:40 PM PST Hi guys, I'm looking to increase my access to higher value information/analysis on companies both for myself and my job. I've been using a few public/free sources, such as vanilla SA, but genuinely good ideas or in-depth and accurate analysis seem like they're not incredibly common on there. Not unexpected, obviously, but not too helpful. Anyone here have SA Pro and think it's worth it? Or would you recommend something else? I appreciate any suggestions, thanks in advance.

| A couple questions for those more knowledgeable, hoping we are heading in the right direction Posted: 02 Feb 2018 04:28 PM PST Hello, r/investing! I'm here looking for guidance for my SO and my (separate) investments. First I will lay out the info and follow up with my questions. My Situation Her Situation We were intending to put away my excess savings and her inheritance into investment accounts after closing on our house at the start of last year, but that didn't happen and we missed out on a great year. To clarify, our money will remain separate unless there is a good reason to combine it once we are married next year. After doing some reading here, I believe our best bet would be to open Roth IRAs and max those out for the year, and put our remaining cash into Vanguard index funds? I was planning on utilizing a more riskier portfolio, similar to my 457, because we plenty of time until we retire. Does this sound like the right plan of action? We will, of course, keep an emergency fund available in our savings accounts. We had intended on making double mortgage payments once she passes her nursing boards, but I am unsure if this is the right course of action. Yes, we could pay off our house pretty fast, but would it make more sense to instead put that money into investments that would be earning more than our mortgage interest? [link] [comments]  |
