Anyone here buy stocks?

Time to buy land. First time down almost since depression was 2008-2010, down 60-70 % in some counties in north GA.
 
We've been using a broker. We are about to change who we are using. We have lost about 7% in the last 20 months. I wasn't paying attention to what he was doing. Needless to say I am pissed. How can you lose that much while stocks have been going up? I get that there is some fluctuation but we never went above our initial investment. I've been thinking about taking some of the money that we put into it and playing around with it a little bit for fun. I just started doing some research so I'm not quite ready to pull the trigger yet but soon though. I am always open to info

I would say you are not looking for a broker... But a Financial Planner that can help manage your funds.... Conservatively ...

There are a few in the Atlanta area... I do not use one, so I won't recommend one.... They will be happy to meet and explain their approaches...

I miss spoke. Financial planner is what I meant. The guy we are using currently was very eager to help us but it appears all he's doing is collecting his fees. We are set to meet with a new one in a couple weeks to see what he can do. According to our current one I should have a few million in the bank buy the time I'm 60 but at the rate i'm going I won't have any money. Maybe I'm unrealistic I don't know, but I expected to see some growth in 20 months.
