This is my first time investing and I would appreciate some advice from you experienced folks. I'm looking to invest about 10k. My aim is for long term growth. I'm not looking for any "get rich quick" schemes.
As of now, I'm thinking about putting 40% into in the S&P, 30% into google and 30% into a foreign index. I want to keep things simple until I've learned the ropes. Is my idea stupid, okay, good, or absurd and why.
Obviously I will be seeking the opinion of a professional as well and this online advice is merely another outlet. So yeah none of the "you shouldn't ask people online for financial advice" type comments please.
Thanks.
