hello all. just joined. i am an investing newbie. not sure where to invest my money. on a scale of 1-10 (1=conservative, 10=aggressive), I would say im about a 4.
i'm sure there are previous threads - if one can guide me that would be great!
i was thinking of putting about 30% into a S&P 500 index and 50% into US gov treasury bonds. a conservative friend said just do CDs.
it seems i can do the above myself to avoid a middleman cut (is this stupid to try?)
thx everybody!
