I plan on reading what some of you have to say, reading as much as I can in various publications and asking several people questions and then the first of the year make some changes. Thanks in advance!


Vanguard Inflation-Protected Securities
10% Mellon Stable Value Fund, Class I
10% Bond Index Fund
5% Oakmark Equity and Income I Fund
20% Stock Index Fund
5% Hotchkis & Wiley Large Cap Value, I Shares
10% Davis NY Venture Fund, Y Shares
10% American Funds Growth Fund of America, Cl R5
10% American Funds EuroPacific Growth, Cl R5
10% Aston Mid Cap, N Shares
10% Laudus Rosenberg US Small-Cap Fund, Advisor

first piece of advise: don't take seriously any advise you get from anyone on a board dedicated to horse racing. it's like asking for the winner of the 5th at aqueduct on the investment trail board.

second peice of advise: if you don't do this for a living, and assuming you aren't within 10 years of retirement, find the lowest expense broad index fund possible and put everything in that.

third piece of advise: reread the first piece of advise.
