Hi all,
Alright, I've always been very interested in the markets, but am OVER investing in individual companies and ready to simplify. Basically, I've been investing since 2007, am 31 y/o, married, 2 young girls (4 and 1) and what I've found is that my individual stock picking has seriously lagged the overall markets and big mutual funds, so why am I wasting all this time for lower than market returns.
Anyway, I'd like some advice. I do have a few funds at Vanguard: Wellington and Dividend Growth. I also have a few at Fidelity (which is where my brokerage accounts are with: Fidelity total stock market, Leveraged stock and low priced stock.
I have approx. 165k between both accounts. I would like to pick 5-10 funds that offer exposure across all spectrums - maybe large cap, mid, and small....not sure. I'd like to get some advice from the group. Should I just drop everything between a total market index like the one I have at fidelity, wellington and dividend growth. I'm also interested in a few of the small cap (explorer), mid cap growth and large cap (morgan growth). I wanted to get your perspectives about some of the other vanguard funds besides wellington or total market.
As always, thanks for the advice!
