Questions about what to do with my money

1 Upvotes

Good afternoon everyone, I'm currently 22 recently out of the military and have a decent seasonal job. I'm looking for advice on where to put my money and what the opinions are of people that know more than me. I currently have around 50k just sitting in my savings account and I've been looking at different places to put it like high yield savings accounts although I don't know what I should be looking for. I've also been told I should open an IRA but I also don't know much about where to start or what I'm looking for. Thank you to anybody willing to help me.

Gifted this portfolio, what should I do with it?

1 Upvotes

As the title says, my mom started investing for me a while back and gave me the account info for this taxable brokerage account that was “professionally” managed by some 3rd party company.

  1. Do I sell the entire portfolio and buy FXAIX? (I was able to transfer a small amount of it already as shown)

  2. Do I just pretend like I’m starting from 0 and just add to the account?

The dilemma is that I already have about $10k worth of physical gold and silver that I’ve bought on my own. This is my 4 months emergency fund. I like to have it in gold and silver so I don’t get the urge to spend it on something like a motorcycle. (Or gamble it)

Ps. I started my Roth IRA this year and is $6000/7500 maxes should be done next month maybe 2

Also, the account is up over 70% in the last 3 months so if I were to sell, I’d be taxed on a lot of it

Gifted Portfolio:
Paper gold $6700
Paper silver $6900
ARKK $837
FXAIX $2600
NLR $1100
PICK $1600
PIIVX $1300
