Are you a fan of no load index mutual funds?

Question

Such as from Vanguard and Fidelity

Answer 1

If Warren Buffet says so, so do I! Better to have money in a mixed basket of eggs than having a real big egg that could crack!

Answer 2

Yes, they are a great way of getting a diversified portfolio, and Vanguard and Fidelity have low fees.

Answer 3

warren buffet is, at least.

Answer 4

They have their place in  a portfolio.  I still prefer managed, no-load, low fee funds more. ETF's can be cheaper than the open ended funds (for indexes).

I wouldn't have more than 50% of my portfolio in index products (either ETF's or Mutual Funds).  Keep on top of your "asset allocation" and you'll do fine.

Answer 5

Yes.  I like to average down. And we've been doing "down." The more it goes down the more I put in.
