Don't take them too seriously. A professional always spends quite a lot of time watching over stocks and markets <b>constantly</b>, not just the stocks that he/she owns. If you cannot afford to do that, mutual funds are still advisable. Again, <b>just my two cents</b>. I just try my best to give my advice. Doug,

Again, just my two cents. I just try my best to give my advice.

If your earning is positive, then your real estate investment is SOLID. NLG,
Cashflow positive is not necessarily earning positive. If your earning is positive, then your real estate investment is SOLID.

You are right about the ability to read financial statements, but are transactions and frequency really the measure of amateur vs. "professional"? I make relatively few trades because I select stocks carefully, and spend lots of time reviewing financial statements, which is a time-consuming process. I still focus my portfolio, and at times am 100% invested. What do you think? Frugal – great post.

I for one haven't done any online trading as yet, however, once I start, I'll have some barriers to prevent myself from becoming overconfident :) Frugal, ML, what are your positions on investing in real estate? Currently my real estate holdings are generating positive cash flow, as well as building equity. Any thoughts?

I think investing in index fund may be the better way to go, instead of talking to CFA or money managers. You seem to be doing pretty well.

Currently my wife and I are 100% debt free (mortgage paid off, no credit card debt, no student loans, and 2 2005 vehicles paid off). We invest 34% of our gross income into 401(k)s, 529(b)s for our two kids age 10 and 7, Roth IRAs. We've generated some extra cash flow and are not sure where to place the money. Right now it's tucked away in MM account at 4.75%. We have thought about speaking with a CFA, but I'm not sure what they can offer for the price I would pay for them.
