It’s possible to do both . I pick my own stocks , but my wife’s IRA is with Fidelity. So far I’m ahead (exact same contributions) … but a key to that is heavy Apple & Valero both have done extremely well. You could have a side account ? Multiple accounts ? So many options … I like a combo of...

I just hope the new Pope stays out of politics. It never helps to upset one side or the other when you have a billion+ members !

Warren Buffett is retiring .
