We have been doing IRA'a and stocks threw a company, but I would like to start handling the stocks on my own. Knowing that several of you guys do this, I'd like to know who you go threw along with the ins and outs. Been wanting to do this for a whole

Vanguard. I'm no finance expert and couldn't do much better than their funds if left to my own judgement. They have low fees and good options.

[BlackSnake]

I'll look into it. If nothing else it's a good start. Thank you
I hate that IRA's have a max cap per year. They do pretty good, but I think I can do better.

I would put 1-2K into a trading account (do your due diligence to see what account/program/company works best for you), and trade with that for a while before you go trying to manage your whole retirement on your own. It isn't rocket science, however, it isn't the quick and easy windfall a lot of people would lead you to believe

Berkshire Hathaway does really well year after year. That and you get a discount on Geico insurance if you use them. Ford stock isn't too hot but they pay a decent dividend every year. My best performer is CCL over the last couple of years and if you have 100 shares you get on board credit.

Well, this sounds like a great idea.

I use vanguard and so does my wife. I also have a personal acct where I pick stocks with capitaloneinvesting. Honestly index funds with vanguard will do just as good over the longhaul and be easier. The only guy to always outperform the market index was Bernie Madoff..... and we all know how that turned out.

Look for funds with a good 5 yr performance and low fees!!! Some places tape you on fees. 1 yr performance gains can easily become overnight bombs.

Also use your own knowledge to play funds. I'm not allowed to buy one energy stock but I've timed ins and outs in energy funds quite well. I sold one at $93 per share and bought back in at $72 with the same money. Now it's back up to $90. I basically got a 15% increase in shares by knowing trends. I'm going to cash out of the energy fund again in the next 12-18 months I imagine. My s&p index fund grows and grows steadily and I don't touch it or worry about it.

I have no idea what I'm doing but I'm sure I can do better!

Lol. I know man...

Thank you guys for the insight. I just hate being capped off on IRA's at under 6k yearly. It's still 500ish a month and usually does pretty good. Just looking for more options. Want to get rich before I die lol. And at 55 years of age, I don't have much time left.

Just buy some MO and let it ride for years. Currently in a dip but that is when I like to start building a position. Buy a little and if it goes down, add some more! Pays good dividend and I highly doubt the company will go away in my lifetime.
