[quote=Anonymous]The core of bogleheads philosophy is very simple-- 1). costs matter-- very few if any people will beat the market over the long run and even if someone does it's impossible to know in advance who that will be, so the thing to do is to try to get market returns at the lowest possible cost 2) you want to diversify, but you can get all the diversity you need from three funds-- total stock market index, total bond market index and total international stock index. 3) the allocation you make to those three funds will vary according to your age and personal view on what sort of risks are acceptable, but you might want anywhere from 50-80% in stocks (with maybe 1/5 - 2/5 of that in int'l stocks) and the rest in bonds. the easiest way to get a sense of what you might do is take the quiz on the Vanguard website (and do it more than once to see how answers might change things).
