Choosing a financial advisor?

[squiffy]

It would be very difficult to find a good advisor period. It would be hard to find a good one who would bother to work with such a small portfolio, not really worth his time.

And even if you can find one, unless you know something about investing, you cannot figure out if his advice is sound or not.

You should always study on your own and manage your own money unless you are a minor, a mentally challenged adult, or so elderly that you are not confident you can properly manage your funds.

For any reasonably competent adult with a high school education, you should manage your own money. Period. You cannot trust anyone else to do it.
