Financial advisors in the opinion of many are a waste of money.
When making investment choices if you do your own research and it fails then it is your choice. Even advisers get it completely wrong. I understand that some were suggesting Northern Rock just before it’s collapse.
A book I’ve just finished reading, How to Own the World by Andrew Craig is useful, giving help in understanding in accounts produced and also charts etc. It’s also a matter of determining what sector will benefit when the econome picks up. My thoughts are that the drinks, hospitality and airlines will do well. Oil should recover too.
Particular companies in mind, Wetherspoons, IAG and BP spring to mind. BP pay dividends too, and are gradually going green, and have streamlined their business.
Its worth looking to see where Investment Trust managers move their funds too.
Diversification is key too. I wouldn’t want to invest too much in TESLR for,example
