Published (2009-11-19 10:37:00)
Years ago when there really were no other ETFs, I used SPY, MDY, IWM and EFA. Now that there is competition, I choose lowest expense ratios. I was able to get out of the earlier ETFs when I sold for tax-loss harvesting purposes. I think that the tax-efficiency of the various ETFs is really about the same. The Vanguard structure may give you an extra 0.0001% in performance with respect to taxes, but that's miniscule compared to the...

FTSE did not use a capitalization yardstick - they just took the low 10% if I...

Portfolio with a pension question
Published (2009-11-19 17:29:00)
There is a huge difference in how you might assess your risk profile when it involves a pension that depends on investment results compared to a pension that is a true guaranteed annuity. As an aside, choosing the highest payout at one point in time, when one of those payouts is guaranteed and the other is investment dependent is hardly an obviously correct choice. I have acquaintances in WI who have suffered major losses of pension income...

Quote: Do you suppose that the $139 billion being withdrawn but not going to RIAs is do-it-yourselfers? From personal observations, I know there is a growing group of investors who just don't know what to do, who to hire and who to trust with their money. On the other hand, they are afraid to manage their own money. They will need some time to decide what to do. My guess is that the $139 billion in question belongs the such investors....

The way you phrase the poll question is misleading. Are you talking about fund fees, or expense ratios? It's possible for the former to drop while the latter increases, depending on market movements.
I think expense ratios will drop if the market goes down a lot (always possible) or there are massive outflows from Vanguard funds (much less likely, but still possible).
I think ...

Last I checked, it should be roughly 80% S&P 500/20% Extended market. I tried inputing it into xray on M* and 80/20 compared almost identically with TSM.

Good luck with that.
I wouldn't follow the formula of anyone who considered 3 years to be long-term.
Also, seems like an awful lot of work and an awful lot of transaction costs.

The most common fallacious argument I hear is that "I've never lost money on a house." They define "making money" as selling it for more than they paid in nominal terms, ignoring all the mortgage interest, HOA dues, property taxes, and maintenance costs they paid along the way, not to mention inflation. I'd be surprised if well over 90% of all homeowners don't lose money on their homes.

The finding from the Trinity study and others that a 4% annual withdrawal rate from a retirement portfolio can be sustained for at least 30 years is time-period specific. It is based on the stock market performance in the last half of the 1900s, which may never be repeated. This can be illustrated by examining the success of the 4% rule when historical rates of return are used in the opposite ...
