Hi,
My name is Barb and I've been unemployed for over a year now. Jobs in my field are hard to find even in Silicon Valley. The start up solar company I worked for ran out of money so they let almost everyone go. Prior to that I worked for Intel until they relocated the fab to Chengdu, China.
I decided to take my 401K money and roll it over to Fidelity IRA. I've invested some of that into Fidelity Healthcare ETF and Fidelity Industrial Index ETF. I did this because I read that ETFs cost less to invest in. I have about $36K left to invest and wanted to get some feedback as to where I should put the money to grow tax free until withdrawal. Would you recommend index funds and if so, which one?
I should add that although I have mutual funds with Janus, Oppenheimer and Fidelity. They've done well but then the market has performed very well this year.
I plan to work for a couple more years and then retire. The house is paid off and I am debt free.
Any input would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Barb
