According to Tyler's site, mixing the 3 blends comes out on top of the total stock market long term (8.5% vs. 7.4% average return). The research I've done seems to support that.dualstow wrote:eufo, if you're going to buy large, mid AND small, why not just buy the whole market, i.e., VTI? No overlap.

Don't agree with me too strongly or I'm going to change my mind

Re: iShares vs. Vanguard
Ah, thank you.
I'd guessed wrong, as I thought maybe you were going to overweight one part. It's all I could come up with.
I actually own three blends, but only because I was patching up a portfolio rather than starting from scratch.

Nope, you did not. Of course, if you had, you'd be off track anyway.mathjak107 wrote:like i said look at the butterfly

Re: iShares vs. Vanguard
depends !
dollar cost averaging in is not best if gains are important , i am not saying this is sophie's case but anytime general terms like " best for buying volatile assets are used some may take that meaning to mean always the best way .
dca is done because you either have no choice because you do not have the lump sum or you want to cut a bit of risk possibly .
if it was really "best " for buying volatile assets we would all just reach our desired allocation , sell everything to zero and start over .
obviously you can see that would likely not be "best " in all aspects .

Take the Fidelity move, for instance. It is particularly useful for financial specialists who have effectively chosen that an extensively expanded arrangement of iShares ETFs is ideal for them, and they mean to keep making customary commitments to their portfolio. In the event that speculators keep making month to month commitments of $1,000 to any of these assets, their yearly returns expanded by just $96 every year, or about 0.83%. Aggravated more than quite a long while, these investment funds turn into a material advantage.
Obviously, that same speculator could have been utilizing file shared assets, which are generally accessible and have for quite some time been accessible without commission expenses. In any case, utilizing shared finances in an assessable record implies that you would relinquish the considerable tax cuts and intraday liquidity that ETFs give. Concerning financial specialists making incessant commitments, the commission waiver puts the two items on equivalent balance from a commitment point of view, and I trust that the item structure separation will convert into numerous speculators now picking ETFs over list reserves.
