December Mailbag: An End-of-Year Influx of Investing Inquiries

Whether you're a skittish newcomer to the stock market or an investing veteran, you're still eventually going to run into situations where you need advice from a more experienced expert. Fortunately for their many listeners, Robert Brokamp and Alison Southwick are happy to provide some of that expertise on the Motley Fool Answers podcast.

For this episode -- the final monthly mailbag show of 2019 -- the cohosts have invited a longtime Fool, but first-time Answer-er, to join them -- Motley Fool Chief Investment Officer Andy Cross. Together they'll tackle a raft of queries that -- for the most part -- focus on stock investing. Among them: which brokerages are best in this new era of commission-free trading; how to overcome your investing fears and get started with stocks; how much stock diversification is too much; how to gauge whether you'll get your money's worth from a financial advisor; what investors are sacrificing to get high dividends; and more.
