Financial Advisor And Investments

I have already considered becoming a pimp, but I feel as though it would take up far too much of my energy. So I was wondering what are some of the best financial investments out there- and how would I go about finding a financial advisor?

a Certified Financial Planner(CFP) is someone who works for your benefit, not to sell you investments. They can advise you in everything from company benefits to insurance and living trusts to asset allocation.from retirement to saving for your kids education.

search the internet for the following just to get some preliminary info.
roth ira vs ira
large small mid cap
growth vs value
indexed mutual fund
asset allocation

what are good investments... it is so dependant on your situation
do you have some emergency savings
do you have a 401k
do you have an ira
your age
any kids
how much you have to invest

yahoo finance has some basic investing education

Suze Orman is a CFP. she has a column on yahoo finance and a tv program. She gives a lot of good baisic advice

Which area is I want to specialize in investment like insurance or share markets or mutual funds etc.. in India what are the certifications I required to become a Certified Investment planner.
Thank you

You would need an NASD series 7 and 66, in order to sit for the tests, you would need to be sponsored by a member firm (hired by a brokerage firm). Once employed, you would have minimum monthly production requirments to meet or risk termination.

Best bet to crack into the business?? Find a local independent financial planner, apply for a job as office staff. Get fully licensed while working there, build a small book on the side while working there. Then cut a deal to be a full time broker with the OSJ you are working for.

I'm curious b/c my managerial accounting class is required for a finance degree, but it doesn't seem like it has much to do with investing and to be quit honest, bores the life out of me.

I have heard that you can often avoid the standard fees/loads associated with institutional mutual funds if you go through a financial advisor/planner. Is this generally true, or is it the exception? Also, are there any other ways to avoid those fees/loads? I am trying to decide if it is worth having my financial planner get 1% of my assets even though I am perfectly adept at doing the research and picking funds/stocks myself.

You are trying to have your cake and eat it. Eiether do it yourself or pay somebody to do it.
