1. Don't take advice from random internet users

That's my advice

She needs to talk to any employee at her local bank. They'll point her in the right direction

[ret5hd]

3. my personal feelings only...

not guided by financial knowledge etc

i could not tolerate the stain on my conscience.

4. There has to be a reason that Blackrock funding is restricting withdrawals ....

11. Possibly BR needs new money so the old can be cashed out. nt

[UpInArms]

5. Blackrock investing is for very sophisticated investors

I would recommend that she look more to a vanguard eft fund

[newdeal2]

6. I assume these are ETFs or mutual funds

I’m not sure why BlackRock is a concern. Of course they should do their own due diligence before investing anywhere.

7. The rumor mill is Black Rock's in trouble.

[Blue Full Moon]

8. Don't in fact probably should stick it under a mattress right now.

9. If that person has any investing savvy at all, I would recommend Vanguard.

Low investing fees, and you can always default to an all-in-one mutual fund based on when you expect to retire.

Tell her to beware of anyone who immediately starts trying to talk her into an annuity.

10. Point her to index fund ETF's

VOO is great in the long term. SGOV is a short term treasuries fund for stability.
