I like to be spread out and diversified, so that's why I was looking at Blackrock.This comment is not necessarily meant for you, ShellShock, but more so for any newbie that came here looking for advice.Diversified doesn't mean you should buy 7 separate funds from 7 different fund management companies. You might end up owning the exact same thing (or something very similar) with each company and could have increased your risks tremendously. You need to understand what the fund's objectives are before investing.Personally, I think Vanguard has a pretty great selection of funds that can keep you more diversified that you can imagine. I own 4 (maybe 5?) with a decent amount of money in each.I will add that it's good to be spread out between a couple companies if you're going this route though because each companies (Vanguard vs Blackrock vs whoever) index type funds have different stocks in them. Just because both are labeled as Healthcare Growth (or whatever fund it is), doesn't mean that it's the same across the board. For instance, I have multiple holdings in several investment companies that basically hedge eachother. My healthcare fund one place has Cerner as one of it's main stocks and the other place has Epic. Those two companies are direct competitors so let them duke it out...because in the end, all it means for me is more $$$$.Just my

Is that enough to buy one of those?

Dearest One,With due Respect and Humanity I write to donate and hand over some fund to you for charity work for community development, schools, farmers, less privileges and building of church. I am Madam Ruth Benson; I am 58yrs old, from Kuwait based in Ivory Coast with my late husband. I am married to Late Mr. Jean Benson who was until his death worked with Oil Company (PETROCI) Cote d’Ivoire; we were married for many years without a child. I am now very sick, after going through some medical checkup my doctor told me I would not last the next eight months due to Colon Cancer that I should pray hard. When my husband was alive, He deposited the sum of (US$2.8M) Two million eight hundred thousand dollars deposited in a Finance Security firm here in Abidjan, Ivory Coast capital. Presently this money is still in the Vault of the firm. Having known my condition I decided to donate this money to any God fearing person, Individual, NGOs, Government Organizations, and Farmers that will use this fund for the charity purpose I mentioned above. I took this decision because I have no offspring and seeing the sufferings of people around i decided to donate it for charity work. Due to the present condition of my health, as i cannot do it by myself, i map out 20% Percent of the total money for your personal use While remaining 80% of the money will go to Community development, schools, farmers, less privileges and building of church. Though I don't know you or met you before but I believe that God will work through you in accomplishing his will. I want you to always remember me in your daily prayers because of my upcoming Cancer Surgery. As soon as I receive your massage in acceptance of working with this charities mention above, I will give you more details and the contact of the Finance Security firm here in Abidjan Ivory Coast. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I have Stated herein. Expecting to receive your re-assuring reply, Remain blessed in the Lord.Yours Sister,Madam Ruth Benson.
