<prompt> Human: Hello! My name is Jackson, last July my brother of 31 passed. His insurance policy left me 25,000. Before investing my money, I took out 3,000 set with a mission of finding a vehicle in that price range that will last, cheap to maintain, and cheap insurance. I ended up with a one car owner, 2005 Impala LS. Immaculate condition, 3800 and all that fun stuff. I planned on investing the rest into mutual funds. I dont have anyone in my family that invests, nor has any knowledgeadvice in investing. For me, I took a course through Everfi which teaches high school students financial literacy. I have also read The Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey. So I have some basic knowledge of what Im getting myself into when it comes to investments. I also know that I have a lot to learn. In which I plan to monitor and maintain my portfolio as a occasional side job. Im posting here for advice and opinions on my current investments, and my idea of my next investment. There are a couple of stocks I have my eye on. And to make it clear, day-trading is not the goal. The goal of my next investment is to have relatively safe stocks bought and sold in the same year according to trends. Here is my current portfolio, please feel free to be blunt. I would appreciate all criticism. My next investment will probably be around a 1,500 investment into energy. One stock I have been looking at in the past couple days is AMETEK INC. NYSE: AME. I am curious to how aggressive a stock like this would be, or stocks similar to this that could be aggressive.  <response>: Edward R Jones blows...you are paying high ongoing annual expense ratios as well as getting hit with a large sales charge with every purchase.
