I have a retirement funds that I am contributing to, but as a young married man, I want to also invest some money into the stock market or bonds over a long period of time. Since, I have time I feel I can be aggressive, I just don’t know where to put our money. For instance, in the government, the most aggressive funds are the S and I funds, which are international I think. Are there funds like these that you can go through an online broker and invest in? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I am 24. I am not really looking towards retirement with this. I have a TSP for that. I am thinking 5-10 years, or more depending on need.

what are this products, like mutual funds and bonds? What about stocks, how can a company have it’s own stocks to make a commission on. If someone could just tell me the whole day to day routine of a investment planner that would be great.

I would like to know which is better to buy for my kids. I was told to buy "I" bonds but my boss and I are having a disagreement on which is better. Which earns better interest and in the long run would be worth more. Say for example a 0 Bond. I know you pay for the "EE" and 0 for the "I". So in 30 years what would be the outcome of the two?

Does an individual have a say in whether he/she wants to contribute to or be enrolled in a 401(k) plan?
Can an individual opt out when offered to be enrolled in the program?
Thanks everyone for taking the time to answer my questions. I mostly like being hands on with my investments and prefer to choose where I invest my money such as in Money Market accounts, Certificate of Deposit accounts, Bonds and the Stock Market.

I was curious and wanted to know should the situation arise if I had an option to opt out of being enrolled in a 401(k) plan.

Having reached retirement age what would you recommend investing in for your pension? The state pension (UK) is going down the drain and by the time my generation start to retire there will be nothing left for us. Because of this I am looking for alternatives early. If you could reinvest your money would you recommend property, stocks, shares, bonds?

I have a bulk of my retirement savings in Vanguard Target Retirement 2020.

I feel like I have no control over how much is in bonds and how much in stocks.

With the impending interest rate rise, I’m getting scared that funds would go down even if stocks keeps going up.

Should I worry? Do the fund managers consider stuff like interest rates and inflation in these funds or is it just computerized?
