Kens, the freaking blue tooth is for use in the car man. but if you insist on not using it or dont want it, give it to me. the built-in one that comes with my phone is crap (plus it make me look doofy vs important,etc)
rob, they may be good funds but your allocation is all over the place. Not a good mix imo.
Europacific growth (AEPGX )invests in stocks in Europe and Asia + Australia minus Japan.
GS Mid-Cap Value (GSMCX) invests only in mid-size American companies, and only value not growth. A slice and dice fund that’s really only useful as part of a specific allocation strategy.
Blackrock (MDLOX)is a mashup of international & American stocks, bonds, and whatever else. I dislike these kinds of funds because you never really know what the manager is thinking, where the money is (here or overseas), and what amt is in stocks or cash at any given time. Still you could make a case for it being the one fund to own if you could only own one.
First, you need to decide how much you want in the stock markets and how much in the safer bond markets. Depends on how much you have in the way of balls. If you have some, at your age 70-80% should be in stocks. If not, adjust accordingly.
Your best bet, if offered, is to put 70% or so of the STOCKS portion in an index fund that tracks the S&P500. People like dibs get paid the big bux to beat the S&P but very few do over the long term. It’s a relief to know that if you hear on the radio the S&P is up 2%, that your portfolio will be as well.
Put the other 30% of the STOCKS portion in an international equities finds, preferably one that tracks one of the indexes also like one of the MSCI indexes.
Put the BONDS portion of your portfolio into a fund that holds short to medium term guvment debt, maybe with a dose of high quality corporate debt as well.
And remember that free investment advice you get on the internet is worth what you pay for it.
Mornin’ ya nutballs 🙂 Rob, I trust that you cleaned up the mess you left last night…Biffy, did you up-right the trophy case? And I *did* leave on a nightlight. You didn’t see it? It’s over in the corner…don’t tell me someone stole it?
Rob, my idea of cute is not someone who looks like a muskrat. Here is your gay card back. When you dry clean the hetero card, I would like it back please.
