I have been paying little attention to the markets for the last several years due to a little house-building project. I feel rusty in the investing department. This need to get my Mom’s money invested has kind of kicked me in that direction so hoping to start paying better attention to my own retirement funds as well.
I’ll start researching these answers and see what I come up with. Would appreciate any thoughts on what not to do as well. I’ll definitely avoid high growth stuff for Mom.
Last time Mom sold a house – in Tucson at the top of the market in 2005, some WaMu financial adviser sold them some bonds that crashed pretty hard. Muni bonds would have been better for them.
Also glad to see that the “fox news vs trump haters” insanity has left Piggington.
