It is important to ask the question if the person charges for their time for providing advice or a fee on amount invested for service. Is s/he also doing investing for you. Fees add up over time.
Once, many years ago someone did the throwing darts at stock chart routine.
Actually did as well as financial planners. Go figure. It is a crap shoot. Something one can do themselves is invest in DRIPS directly from companies through a third party, usually a bank. Look up dividend stocks and check those paying dividends for 60 consecutive years. Over time the dividends add up substantially.
I did go this route until we decided to buy a car and I cashed out the stocks.
