Hi George, I hope you come back. I think there are some people here really trying to help you. First a couple of questions:

How old are you ?

Do you have your own computer, how do you access this web site ?

How long do you plan to keep this money of yours in the market ?

Do you have any pressing needs that require you to have access to this money ? Like school or bills or parents who need financial help now ?

From what little I've read about your broker, it sounds like he doesn't want you calling him. Since you've mentioned that you know where Schwab offices are you might consider transferring your account over to Schwab. They don't give advice either but you can always call and check on your account holdings, no problem with that.

You could go to the Schwab branch and open an account, give them your existing account information and they will arrange to transfer the funds and stock in your existing account to your new account at Schwab. Schwab is not the cheapest broker, but they are very reputable. Your money would be safe there.

You can learn to make your own decisions from the lessons the good people right here may teach you. Its free knowledge and there is an old saying that "you get what you pay for", but you will recognize wisdom when you see it and perhaps you will learn some things.

At Schwab you can access your account either "on-line" or through their telephone "Telebroker" system or through a live person, a broker. They only take orders to buy or sell when you call, though.

More later, I hope you can answer my questions so we can all get to know you better.
