Hey guys,



Say I am looking to start a somewhat aggressive plan to start saving money. I will put 5k in an account and reinvest 2k-5k per month there-after. What is a good breakdown for the stocks I could choose? What do you guys think of this:

EFA EURO-ASIA INDX (MSCI-ISHARES) 15.00% $300.00
IWD RUSSELL 1000 VALUE (ISHARES) 40.00% $800.00
IWF RUSSELL 1000 GROWTH (ISHARES) 35.00% $700.00
IWM RUSSELL 2000 INDEX (ISHARES) 7.00% $140.00
TIP LEH US TREAS INF FD (ISHARES) 3.00% $60.00

Hello Prodigy,

How old are you ,and what is your income/career at the moment......as well and goals/risk tolerance/approx. age you would like to "retire" going foward ?

I am also assuming you are OPENING the account with $5k...and then buying the additional proportional amounts from your list with $2k-$5k of NEW money(from a job,poker earnings,other income,whatever)
