I'm in the "other" category. On the equity side, still heavy in managed [-]sucker [/-]mutual funds and in the process of shifting those to index ETFs, plus a dozen or so individual stocks. On the bond side, heavily invested in individual munis, plus a medium size passel in managed fund. Plus a year's worth of cash in cash sweep fund and checking accts.

Other then some legacy individual DRIP's and 2 managed MF's which we no longer contribute to we are Bogleheads with indexed MF's/ETF's

I voted 'other'.

I think of myself as a 'Boglehead' and believe in the concept. It's just getting to be a long journey to get there.
I'm slowly getting there.


It is a slow journey for me also. Moving to index as managers I like get fired / quit or otherwise disapoint.
