Financial Advisor Newsletters

I am a junior in business economics. This is my first internship. They pay me $9 an hour (california). The thing is, all they have me do is copy newsletters and print addresses on envelops to send. I mass mail 200 envelops a day. It is SOOOO boring and repetitious not to mention tiring (my shoulders hurt). Is this what a typical first internship at Smith Barney, or did I get a really horrible financial advisor as my boss?
Please, only answer if you are in the finance field.

That is not an internship...that is you being a very expensive "office boy". They might have money to throw, but you have valuable time to spend on more meaningful work. I say "Get outta there!!"

I've read quite a few books on investing and most seem to present a solid case and strategy for investing. Some suggest small caps, others say you can't go wrong with large cap value stocks, etc. The rationales all make sense to me.

The only problem is that I feel that these books are out of date the moment they go to print. I don't know how these books can attempt to back-test a strategy against today's rising oil prices.

Does anyone know of a investing resource (book/magazine/website/service) that provides timely advice. I'd follow the advice in my Fidelity monthly newsletters, but they are all about Fidelity offerings. I'd like something a bit more vendor nuetral.

While I'd consider consulting a financial advisor, every book I've read suggests that even financial advisers are too much "in-bed" with whatever strategies and funds they are professing.


Any advice is greatly appreciated.

The basic tenets of investing never go out of style.
1) Diversify in a wide range of stocks and bonds and forms of cash.
2) Determine your risk appetite subject to your age and personal tastes and invest accordingly.
3) Diversify with international investments.
4) Don't start investing until you have an emergency fund of at least 3 months of expenses saved up.
5) Invest gradually over time. Invest a set amount each month or every other month so you can take advantage of dollar cost averaging.
6) Invest through various vehicles including 401K's, IRA's and regular brokerage accounts.

All of the above advice is timeless and doesn't need to be updated. As far as the individual investments, research each stock or mutual fund you're interested in which fits your risk profile. Try to make initial investments when they appear to be undervalued. And continually monitor your investments to make sure that the original reason you purchased it still is valid. If not, consider redeploying your investment. Good luck to you.

... crisis. When will the patience of the public with Obama's remedies run out?
Think 1970s-style "stagflation" but much, much worse: massive inflation, even hyperinflation, together with Depression-like economic stagnation. A depressflation.

Why is this inevitable? Because with a bi-partisan consensus that deficits are vital in fighting the crisis (or easing the pain) there is no constraint on Obama and his party. The sky is the limit on spending, to the tune of a trillion-plus dollars over the next two years alone.

And there are only two ways to pay for it: (1) printing more money, which causes inflation, and (2) hiking taxes, which kills investment, businesses and jobs.

Then the question will be: When will we realize that government intervention is magnifying, not solving the problems that caused the crisis?

This was sent to me in an email by a financial adviser trying to sell a newsletter but I think it really hits the nail on the head.
Happy Bolsh.. ..No wonder you will never win. a normal person can't even begin to understand your communist double speak. Give it up. you are doomed to failure.
Big Brodie, although you are obviously a Liberal, you make some very good points. Why did we get to this point where we are so dependent on the Government to sustain things, instead of relying on hard work and personal ingenuity?

Of course the government is making things worse. I loved how Obama compared Obama-care to the post office (inefficient, wasteful, never on time, undependable, looses billions each year that taxpayers have to cover).

His example was perfect and the reason that we should run, not walk, away from Obama-care.
