Similar for me but my portfolio was weighted to international and health sciences (+33%) for the past year. Did you have a similar tilt?

Any recommendations on some good stocks or mutual funds in those areas? |

I had to stand in the middle of the street in the dark trying to wave down a single car to give me a jump start. Nearly got run over about 10 times. People probably thought I was trying to carjack them. One nice guy in a minivan pulled into the lot and it took one minute. Tomorrow I buy a new battery. Worked inside all day. |

They sell people. Small one person offices with someone you can talk with
That person will likely sell you whatever pays them the most. They got in trouble w/ the SEC for not disclosing that conflict of interest so now it's in a document on the website Quote:
They are very, very popular and it surprises me. When the DOL fiduciary rule came out their first public position was that they would pull mutual funds and ETFs from their IRA options. Seriously |

Yeah, I think Ed Jones has a place in the world for people who really have trouble figuring out how to invest or who are way behind on their strategy. But for the most part, their fees are stupid high, and you would be better off with even just doing a target date fund on your own.

My portfolio is with Baird Financial. I'm not great at managing my own money, so they create a strategies based upon need and where I want to go. It's worked out well.
I hadn't purchased an individual stock in years, primarily because that stuff just doesn't interest me. On a whim, I bought 4K shares of US Silica stock in August. I got in at $25.10 and it's trading today at $34.60. I'm a ****ing genius. |
