Would you tell me if Edward Jones is best to go with or Weddell or Reed? I am 70 and have already gone though 2 Mutual Funds crashes. Reed want to put me in a Nationwide Annuity at 7%. I am at a loss of where to put my investments. I have already changed 4 times in the past. I can’t afford to lose any more money. I am currently with Edward Jones.

I have been working in US for last 4 years on H1-B visa and my employment based greencard is in process. I am anticipating a greencard within next 2 years. I have invested in mutual funds and employer 401(k). If I decide to return to my home country in coming years (after my greencard is processed), will I be able to withdraw funds from my US 401(k) and other investments (for example – annuities) when they mature? I understand that to return to my home country, I will have to give up my green card. However, will I still have access to my investments in US? are they any legal/tax issues involved? Or is it benefitial/advisable to just liquidate my investments, take penalty hit and take the money home?

Where can I find statistical data, from a reliable source, about how many households (I’m looking specifically for middle-class, but global stats would also do) have investments in the stock market?. I don’t mean trust funds or other “indirect” investments but people actually buying and trading stocks.

From reading these “how to retire a millionaire” articles, I think I have most of the work down. I live frugally, do the little things like cook my own meals, etc. Starting now (age 18) I can easily stash $20 weekly for the long term, which will increase to $50 soon. I have all this stuff down and am probably in a good position, since I have no debt I’m trying to pay off or anything. So….what now?
Annuities? Bonds? Should I seek advice from my banker? Someone told me I should take all my money and buy silver, another person said I should invest in Europe (I have family in London so it could work) because of the sinking dollar. I’m not looking for a quick profit from the hottest stocks, I want a place where I can put aside money, know that it’s working for me (albeit slowly), and not worry about it for maybe 50 years. I guess I would benefit more from answers on how to find my way through the world of personal finance like “Here, read this book” than “stocks!!”

If the fund makes a trade does it have to pay the taxes or does the investor pay taxes after they make a withdrawl from the fund? Or is it both? Same with Mutual Funds? If these funds don’t have to pay taxes on their trades, this seems like a HUGE advantage compared to the average investor.
