the first answer is exactly how i feel. think about it and then start reading... bobbrinker.com is a good place to learn a lot about investing... read his recommended reading list books. if you do that, you will know more than any advisor you could hire.
good fortune!
I know this will sound bitter, but my own experience is that there's only one place to find such a person and that is by looking in the mirror.
I have yet to encounter a financial advisor who got into the business becuase she or he cared about people more than money. Those who put money first put their OWN money first; they make sure to make money for themselves. If you make any, well, that's just gravy.
I suppose if you could find one who would put people first, that person might really care about making money for YOU because that's what you came to that person for. All I can say is, good luck finding such a person.
