What\'s the deal w/ Vanguard? (Newbie Post)
I am a total newbie to finance and investing. I'm actually taking an internship w/ a friend of my Dad's at AG Edwards to learn more.
While I don't know much, it seems like everyone on here recommends dividing your portfolio, and sticking some if not all your money w/ Vanguard. Some in Small cap, some in large cap, some in this and that. Why Vanguard? Any other good further readings for me on Vanguard? Or what small cap, large cap, and all that other stuff means. thank you

Vanguard is the lowest cost provider of index funds and ETFs. They are shareholder-owned. They are excellent index managers and provide alpha (risk-free return) by superior transactional skill.

The Four Pillars of Investing. This isn't some flippant reply, either. Get that book, read it, and become addicted to the world of financial savviness.
