We use my brother and his DC-based team as our FA through Merrill Wealth Management. They've made me a lot of money and have a lot of intellectual resources on every investment conceivable. When you get to a certain level, you also get invited to private investment opportunities that generally have very large short term gains.
But you don't have to be wealthy to have a FA, the biggest value add is that they help you build a plan to reach your retirement goals instead of you just winging it. If you want his contact info just PM me.
Otherwise, I'm pretty sure I posted all of my mutual fund and Roth 401k allocations in the other finance thread. I did recently buy 5 shares of AMZN that are killing it (except when Bezos and Trump start beefing). Also, when you're bored with all of those things and have some more cash to play with, do something fun as an "investment" tied to your hobbies. My obvious one is watches but maybe for you it's old collectable drum equipment or something.
