Stock Market Reaching New Highs!
Isn’t the stock market going crazy! Our portfolio has made up about a 30% of the cost of purchasing our new Tesla electric car since we bought it two months ago.

Locating Fiduciary Financial Advisers
I have always learned from articles that talk about real people and their finances. What is significant about this report is the reference to two financial adviser professional organizations that have fee-only financial advisers and who will sign fiduciary oaths: National Association of Personal Financial Advisers and the Garrett Planning Network. Please note that Dan and I do not use advisers, we learned to invest without an adviser and saved a bundle. But we also understand that some people want and need help. We did at one point in our retirement saving plan years. Our fee only adviser was a member of National Association of Personal Financial Advisers. Here is the article that cites both organizations: http://www.bankrate.com/finance/investing/how-to-find-fee-only-financial-planner.aspx
