    Can anyone recommend someone for Financial Planning/Advising? I searched the threads and found very little info.

    Thanks in advance!!

    You might want to also try City Data. I've seen this topic there a few times.

    Edward Jones is fine for simple investing. The place I would suggest to stay away from is Morgan Stanley Smith Barney. The two companies recently merged and they can't get **** done.

    There's a fellow in Cary named Terry Wiles that I know several people have met with and are very pleased. I don't have enough money to have used his services. My investment vehicle is UNC-G at the moment.

    From my at-a-distant observations, he is very customer focused, proactive, and bluntly honest. No fees for initial consultations. Doesn't give advice that necessarily gets him compensated, focuses on the customer needs. If you want his info, PM me.

    I believe it is best to first self-educate yourself in financial matters before seeking an adviser as its easy to be led astray by self serving individuals. A good place to begin your education is by consulting the wiki on the following site:

    http://www.diehards.org

    You will find references to some pretty good books covering financial matters and some of the authors even post on the forum.

    Enjoy!

    We are looking for a financial advisor to assist with some 401k / retirement questions. Wary of folks who want to sell additional products.

    Suggestions?

    Thanks!
