On Fidelity, the 401k tab shows the investment options we have (31 to choose from). How do we know which stocks we can buy for individual accounts (to not clash with independence)?

I don’t think we have stocks in our 401k, only funds, and you can invest in any of them without worrying about indep. But if you want to know which stocks are allowed. Check on GMS

Ike they said. If you want to own individual equities, open a broker account tD Ameritrade etc) but still check GMS

Thanks. I just opened up with Fidelity and thought it would restrict me from buying stocks EY has not approved like the 401k does with funds. Is checking GMS every time I want to buy a stock the only way to do this?

Why has real estate remained lucrative?
Mainly agents but also developers.

The barrier to entry is low, not even sure if graduating high school is needed. My old agent even said she did it bc she can make a lot money and not work that much. She drove a new Mercedes and sent her kids to private school, husband was also an agent.

So I’m curious why it didn’t get flooded and the profit margin dampened to a $/hr closer to other jobs with similarly easy entry?
