Re: How safe is the stock market?
I'm thinking perhaps the best thing for me is just to use one of the ETF portfolio's suggested on that site kimchi linked to. How does this look to you guys?
10% S&P Depository Receipts (SPDR) S&P 500 (SPY) LCB
10% Vanguard Value VIPERs (VTV) LCV
10% I-Shares Russell Microcap Index (IWC) SCB
10% Vanguard Small Cap Value VIPERs (VBR) SCV
10% Vanguard REITs Index ETF (VNQ) REIT
10% I-Shares MCSI EAFE (EFA) Int'l LCB
10% I-Shares MSCI EAFE Value Index (EFV) Int'l LCV
20% WisdomTree Int'l Small Cap Div Fund (DLS) Int'l SCV
10% Vanguard Emerging Markets VIPERs (VWO) EM
Is there any overlap or do any of you feel there are unnecessary choices in there? Are any additions or adjustments I should make? It was last updated in Januray so I really want someone's approval before I dive in. I'm starting with 10k by the way, but might add more later.
