CPA = Certified Public Accountant CFP = Certified Financial Planner The similarities end with requiring certification and continuing education, the similarities pretty much end there. Becoming a full on CFP would be a massive undertaking. Meaning He would have to take a ****load of courses, the exam, and work under a CFP for a really long time. This would be a full on career change. That being said, many "financial planners" aren't certified. Most ****nuts Series 5, 6, or 7 certifications so they can sell bullshit ass products for bullshit ass companies. I don't know if there are any other certifications out there, but I wouldn't recommend going the full CFP route. https://www.cfp.net/become-a-cfp-pro...n-requirements |

Initiated my IRA transfer tonight. Thanks for the heads up Cook about Apple before I deposited. I might DCA in this year a bit.

Well, I ended that year down 5.8 percent. But before you laugh at me, I apparently beat the S&P 500.

Take it and run. I did my best not to panic, look at the IRA too much, and ended down 12.8. The good news is I’m still a long ways from needing it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Ouch. Did something in particular tank on you? I have three different accounts that I manage, two IRAs and one that's liquid savings. One of them was a rock and only lost 2.5 percent. The second one did pretty good as well, relatively speaking, and was down 3.2 percent. But the third one was down 14.0 percent. It seemed like all of my overweighted stocks in that account tanked, even though there was no particular pattern among them. My second-biggest holding in that account (THO) got pulverized this year, losing over 60 percent, and it was about 8 percent of my total holdings in that account. But hey, now it's low so I'm buying a little more. It'll go back up eventually, right?

I just dropped some money into me and my wife's Roth IRA. Give me some good ideas to invest it in.

There are lots of index funds. Looking to narrow the search. Considering some HealthCare iShare ETFs... seems to be one of the better ones.

Cashing in my stock account during my move to Scottsdale looked foolish for the next 12-16 months.
Now I look like an idiot savant.

I'm looking for advice on how to pick a good CFP. I realize many aren't certified. In the past I just used a good newsletter to pick stocks. This year I'm looking for professional advice.
Picking a 'guy' is as tough as picking the stock. Also my 401k only let's me do mutual funds. I'm used to buying stocks. Any advice here?
