Ha ha.....for sure....pretty soon you'll be throwing around all kinds of alchemic terms like PEG ratio, accretion, and book value in order to amaze and mystify friends and family!! 
There's a handy little book published called "Dictionary of Finance and Investment Terms" by John Downes and Jordan Elliot Goodman. I've also seen it under other titles like "Money's Complete Guide to Personal Finance and Investment Terms." It's available from Amazon: Click here

SweetHonesty:
This is objective information about your retirement goals. There is nothing stable in today's world. So what works today may not work tomorrow. I have found in doing research for over 20 years that there is no sure thing. Anyone can give you an opinion based on their experience with different mutual funds, ETFs, etc. What you have to do is to develop a plan. There are all kinds of retirement calculators and things like that on investment web sites such as Fidelity, Schwab, etc. It might be wise for you to pick up a book on finance. If you need some references, let me know, and I'll help you out. Send me a private message with your requests. I don't want to be overbearing or specific to you, because every individual's circumstances are different. I am semi-retired at the present time (could go back to work if the situation came up). I have been through the ringer, so I can talk to you from experience. There is no profit motive involved. I just like helping younger people out, since I lacked that advice when I was younger. Good luck with your investment objectives, and if you need assistance, just let me know.
