what type of professional is the best to advise me regarding making decisions today for retirement in 15 years?

I saw one financial advisor who only seemed interested in talking about my 401(k), but I also have a small pension plan. I do not own a home, but would like to.

I don't even know how I am supposed to use a 401(k) when I retire.

Back in November 2010, I was persuaded to purchase 2,000 shares in Crown Gold Resources Inc. via Talvest International Limited who were based in Panama. I assume that what I bought is completely worthless and the whole thing was a scam - please could anybody out there verify my thoughts.

I would like to invest in a gold coin collection but I am apprehensive because I am suspect of some of the vendors/sellers and unfamiliar with the buyer's coin exchange. If I purchase up to $25,000 I will be able to insure the coins against theft but not for the original purchase price in the event the value plummets. Can you recommend a legitimate and reasonable seller (institution) of gold coins? To whom do I sell the coins at the fair market value? Will the FMV of my gold coin collection be discounted when I decide to sell them due to a limited number of buyers (institutions)? What would be the tax rate for any unearned investment income assuming that I realize a capital gain when I sell the coins? Thank you for sharing your knowledge and financial expertise in this specialized area.
