We cannot provide advice over the internet (against industry rules).  Your best bet is to talk to your friends about advisors they have used that they trust.

  Good luck.

Apart form the ones that you have stated there are many more options…..but as far as I am concerned I would consider a wise investment in RE as that is one of the secured options that I know. You just need to hook up a good RE consultant or a real estate investor that can guide you in your investments. That can be good for the future prospects too and will definitely give you a more secure investment than any other.

before I retire …. and I would like to know about the options that I can
consider for my retirement plan. I am taking about some real good investments so
that I get my future secured (want it secured for the kids too). I have a few
options that I can look up to like REI, mutual funds and stocks……but need a
bit of advice from you to make a better decision.<span style=“font-family: “Trebuchet MS”;”><o:p> </o:p>

Perfect.  There’s your free advice, Rodney, from Nicoll the real estate blogger.  I have no doubt it will prove to be worth every single penny that you paid for it.  Everyone knows that real estate is perfectly safe and NEVER decreases in value.  All that noise you hear in the press about people losing their homes because they are worth less than they owe on their mortgage is simply a vast right wing conspiracy.

But whatever.  Since it’s only your family’s financial security that is at stake, why bother paying a small price to a professional for help when you can get free advice from unqualified strangers over the internet? 

I’d add my own advice but I need to bop over to cardiologists.com now for some free advice on treating my chest pain.   Ta!

Great post Morphius!  You hit the nail on the head.
