How do I start a brokerage account at Fidelity (just using that since my kids 529 and my 401k are there)? Do I need to call them? I just don’t want stuff sitting in my checking account and my student loans are now paid off so I will end up netting more every month…any advice on what to do would be greatly appreciated. Side note - I won’t be day trading or anything…I just want to give it to a brokerage firm and let them do their thing.
