What about indexes and other funds with a large portfolio? Right now I'm invested in:
Vanguard Small-Cap Index Fund Investor Shares
Vanguard European Stock Index Fund Investor Shares
Vanguard Large-Cap Index Fund Investor Shares
Vanguard Emerging Markets Stock Index Fund Investor Shares
Vanguard 500 Index Fund Admiral Shares
Vanguard International Value Fund
but I didn't really know much when choosing these. I have an extreemly high risk tolerance and am mainly looking for the highest expected long run returns. Are there any funds that you don't like in the above list? Are there any ones that I'm missing that might be a good idea to include?

newt this looks fine...vanguard has low fees (i checked a couple of these they look ok, although i bet ETFs would be a little cheaper). You wont go really wrong this way. if you have a high risk tolerance and want to swing for the fences you need to figure out a way to get into individual stocks. Frankly, I have never bought a mutual fund. the guys running them suck, and they don't have your best interest at heart. most of them are just trying to not trail the indexes too badly. all of the talent has gone to the hedge fund industry. so if you are going to buy funds, i like buying these passive funds. at least some idiot is not going to screw you while charging you extra for the privilege.
