Does anyone have any recommendations on a stock broker or firm
to work with on investments. I am looking to make some
short-term investments 2-3 years either in mutual funds,
businesses or stock market etc... I am not extremely
knowledgeable in this area so I prefer to have a recommendation
from someone that knows of someone reputable vs. responding
to the mailings or phone calls that I receive.
Thank you,

RE: .0 You'll be better off subscribing to Money or Smart Money and picking one of the funds they recommend than using a broker. A broker is primarily a salesman whose main interest is a commission which will come off the top of your investment. Obviously this will reduce your return. There's no good reason I know of to buy a high load fund which is most likely what a broker will try to sell you. You can also visit a public library and look in Morningstar's publication for fund recommendations. | |||||
