Maybe someone else can pick this apart, but I thought it was a good basic representation, with the charts and figgers, of why/how asset allocation matters. The differences between the basic agglomerated portfolio and the more finely-tuned ones are startling.. on the order of 2-3x the growth over 30-40 years.

My only comment'd be that this isn't truly a "buy&hold" scenario since it seems to be a given that the portfolio'd consist of funds --sure, index funds.. but they are still not exactly the same as b&h.

To my mind, this is the best an investor can do. And when you have done your best, it’s time to turn your attention to something else. A very good “something else” is to make sure you are living your life the way you want to.
