I am a 29M ($94k/year), soon to be married to a 26F ($40k/year), and I am preparing for our investments to be blended to one another. She recently opened a Roth IRA, and I was debating on investing the $5500 into a sector oriented fund (VDE), or purchasing a stock (XOM, CVX, etc), would this be a good idea considering the bulk of my existing funds are ETF blends? Thoughts, ideas? Too much risk?
