I am wondering if anyone here has ever just turned over their account to Fidelity to manage (stocks, bonds)? And did you make any profit doing this or did you just break even at the end of the year after your account paid all their expenses?
Some years ago a friend of mine had a broker manage her account for a year or two and found she just broke even. Not sure who she used, tho, but just remember the story. (She buckled down and did it herself after that.)
But two things: I am in the beginner stage in my mind and will be taking a number of overseas trips and can't watch the stocks, so it is a consideration for a couple years.
Anyone here actually give it all to Fidelity to manage is the question, tho?? Worth it or not?
