    Does the profession of stockbroker still exist? Or did vanguard pretty much end it?

    Good question. Vanguard ... and the internet?

    Dave says Growth, Growth & Income, Agressive Growth, and International. I'm seeing a pattern here.

    I wonder if he would recommend that to someone in middle age as opposed to early career investors. Dave can afford to lose it. If you're north of 50, it's another story. He didn't mention bond funds once.

    Correct answer is none.

    Find 2-3 ETF's/Index funds (one domestic only SPY, one world fund Vanguard total World Market would suffice, and if you lean on the conservative side either a US centered or whole world Bond Fund) and you will beat 95% plus of all active managed accounts why doing it with less fees and risk.

    Yeah, I have been buying ETFs for years.

    As some one who has never had an inside of the box thought is it possible to predict (time) the market based upon technical analysis of a total market index fund?

    Yeah, I know, if it could be done it already would have been done. . . ..but still.

    I think he recommends backing off on the higher risk investments which is the Aggressive Growth. Personally, I ditched international last year because it’s been a dog on my portfolio for decades.
    USA! USA! USA!


    TTTTT, I know.

    I am all about this, but am in something closer to 10 index funds, with the first focus being zero/super low fees.

    This is the advice I’m giving my daughters, re: ETFs. I’m recommending they put a third into SPY, a third into Russell 2000, and the last third for stocks. I realize I left out International investments but that’s a personal bias. They’re young enough they probably should put some there as well.

    It’s always been fake business.
