I advised my mother when her CDs were no longer generating enough income. She also consulted with her Edward Jones "young man." She is 84 so I am not sure what she meant by young. She did not tell him what I had advised, but bought shares of companies that he and I agreed on - VZ, KMP, HCN and a couple of others.

My brother, 11 months older than me, recently retired and took a pretty big lump sum distribution. We have shared some information. He scared me when he used to talk about how many total shares he owned, like that was his main metric. I send him some information from time to time and I think it has had a good influence on him. We'll visit sometime this year and I would like us to have some time to talk investments face to face.
