Hi, everyone. I just joined this community because I’m looking for advice from people who are definitely more knowledgeable than I am when it comes to financial investments. Due to a series of life’s twists and turns, I now find myself managing a large sum of money—about one million euros. I’m interested in the financial world; I research stocks that catch my eye, but aside from a few silly and insignificant experiences with CFDs (we’re talking a few hundred euros), I’ve never made any serious i
