When seeking help in purchasing stocks there are two types of advisers. Fee based (most banks where they collect a fee on the sale and purchase of each stock every time the stock is traded) and *commissioned" based: a commissioned adviser who is paid by the company he uses to place your contract and trades. Then gets paid only on new invested funds as they are invested and only once except if the fund is sold or traded for another fund family if traded outside an annuity or life contract . You never pay the commissions. Vanguard Funds only deal in indexes, have the lowest fees and high returns for their investors.
Brokerage Account: Seek advice from a tax attorney and a CPA.
