Need Help Investing

[hooskins]

Thanks guys for all the feedback. I will send you back responses if i need a bit more information.

I will also go over the specifics this weekend, when i get a breather from work.


As for my UVA background, I am an economics and foreign affairs major. So I know a decent amount economic cycles, consumer behavior, economic theory, etc. I have also taken a couple financial classes in college, but not a ton. Most of my financial classes divulged into discussion of the current financial situation and potential causes. So I do have a general understanding of concepts such as diversification, how i should be 100 stocks now, getting my employer to match my contributions. I am good in terms of the macro, but i need to work on the micro, to put in econ major terms.
