Personal Finance and Investing

Thank you for your perspective on this A HERETIC I AM.

I have made no decisions re: this situation.

As for this guy, I never said anything political to him at all, I swear. He's the one that started it up and ended it. I never told him what my opinions are re: politics.

As for him and his background, whatever. Not impressed. I've heard that 8-9% garbage before and it seems to be something they tell you to get you to go with them.

He worked for several very different places ranging from Edward Jones to Fidelity and the other three were similar jobs with different companies. What if he packs it in an leaves his job again. What happens to me? Do I get lost in the shuffle?

As for CDs, probably my only safe choice. I need to look around and see if I can find something that is paying more that what I am getting now.

Thanks again for your perspective and also the thing about the guy at Edward Jones. He seems like a nice guy and all but I think they charge a lot. Still unsure.
