[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why all the Vanguard boosters?[/quote]

I have accounts there but am not a fanboi or "booster."

I'm a satisfied customer.  In general their funds are well managed and they keep expense ratios low (more money for you).  That said, however, many rely on their index funds when there is some good evidence that judicious selection of actively managed funds there can do even better and protect your downside (many index funds got hit hard in the latest slide).

I use Dan Weiner's Vanguard Advisor reports to help select allocations within Vanguard.  I have no connection with him or it, I just have subscribed for about 10 yrs.   He suggests a variety of funds & portfolios that can try to maximize your return and also insulate from some of the downsides of index funds.  He's more than made me the cost of the subscription over time (I pay full price, he doesn't know me from Adam, etc.).

Investing is not easy, if it ever was.  He seems to have some good perspectives on how to select the top rank of the many Vanguard funds, depending on your investment goals.[/quote]
