I've been buying and selling stocks for several years now; however as I get older it I'm trying to round out my portfolio. What would be a good percentage breakdown of large, mid, small, international stocks/funds to have for a person in his late 20s.

As far as risk is concerned, I'm quite tolerant and comfortable with being very aggressive with equities.

Where can i find more information about this topic w/o having to fork out $150/hr for professional advice....

My wife and I moved to a new city 3 yrs ago for my new job. I am now able to work completely remote and we would like to move back to our home town, but the realestate market here is very poor. We really can't think about a new home untill we feel confident ours will sell.

Any one have any alternates to listing and selling the home? Its been on the market for almost 4 months now.

Bridge loans do not look like that good of an idea, but any opinions on these?

Thanks in advance.

I was always on time with paying my bills and had perfect credit up until a year ago, I was laid off work and couldn't cope with the bills..my credit now is very poor and I'm finally settled again where i can start paying again but all my credit cards are on collections and i'm wondering how long would it take me to restore my credit back, I'm planning to consolidate them all in one and i'm going to be paying them off in about a few months but i'm really concerned with how long it'll take me to have my credit back to 729, right not is 451.

Also, is this type of document legal? My new boss has asked every employee to sign a 5-year no-compete agreement. This agreement states that we agree that if we are ever fired from this job or quit, for the next 5 years afterward we cannot work in the same field/industry, as it might present competition for his business. Personally I really like working there, but I feel this is wrong for him to try to dictate where someone can or cannot work in the future.
