If you want advice about how to proceed with your investments

[onenote]

consult a professional. Don't rely on what you read here on DU or elsewhere on the Internet or what some friend of a friend's cousin said.

1. Since your advice comes from DU ...

I'm heavily invested in solar. Advice came from my sun.
My clean energy ETFs did great last year, but it's more about investing in a sustainable world.

15. Curious, which ETFs? I've been looking at them too.

[Beakybird]

16. Sorry for the delay. TAN and PBW were #2 and #8 ETFs in all sectors in 2019 both gaining over 60%.

I also invested in FAN - wind energy, PZD - Cleantech. I had a little invested in SMOG and ICLN which are also alternative energy ETFs. I was thinking of investing in a lithium ETF, but if they start making batteries out of other materials, you can lose a lot of money.

17. I'll take a look at them, thanks!

Add em to my research list... looking at socially responsible funds, too.

6. What? You mean I shouldn't attend the "become a millionaire just like me" seminar?

[mr_lebowski]

7. There's only one kind of those that's worthwhile ...

That's the "become a millionaire just like me" seminar ... that teaches you how to give "become a millionaire just like me" seminars.

Those are the legit ones

11. As Steve Martin once explained, How to Be a Millionaire.....

first, get a million dollars.....

12. In most cases, they are there to keep you from impulse buying and selling...

If they constantly think you should be buying and selling then they are probably just scamming you.

5. we ride it out...skim off profits and buy whats on sale

...and we have done pretty effing well. Just remember it wont last..up OR down...

[Andy823]

8. Exactly

No way should we listen to posters we don't even know about serious advice regarding investments, health or any other important issues.

[albacore]

9. You mean that I shouldn't really take the whole bundle to the casino and put in on "red"? nt

[TeamPooka]

10. "always bet on black" - Wesley Snipes

[albacore]

13. Dont hear from those who swore that everyone should sell off after the 2016 election

This is the last place I would take in investment advice from
