Default Re: choosing an investment management firm

From reading your posts, I'd say you should go w/ #3. Put the bulk of the money in a Vanguard Index Fund, and stick a few grand in an on-line brokerage account. This will allow you to get your feet in the stock market without putting a large percentage of your roll at risk, and, if you lose the money in your brokerage account, consider it "Tuition."

My guess is that you'll eventually move most of the money into the brokerage account. Most poker players would rather make their own bets.

Meh. I know this isn't really advise, but it's bad to relate poker to investing. Taking the passive route is the most +EV for a huge majority of ivestors. Poker is a lot easier than individual investing.

Considering that well over 90% of all poker players lose (Of course, on the internet, everyone wins) this is a debatable statement.
