Investopedia explains 'Investment Advice'

Investment advice refers to any recommendations regarding an investor's portfolio. Many professionals, including financial planners, bankers and brokers, can provide investors with investment advice that is specific to their financial situation and short- and long-term financial goals. Due to the vast amount of investment advice available, particularly online, an investor may wish to determine the qualifications of the person dispensing the advice prior to making any investments. Ultimately, it is up to the individual investor to decide which investments are most suitable.
