I don't know squat either. My friends dad does this stuff so he gave my 5 funds with percentages to invest in and he said don't change until I'm at a age that I want to become more conservative. This year, I'm taking a beating, but everyone is. It will bounce back. Keep on buying since the prices are low.
Also, nice job reviving an almost 4 year old thread.
I was actually just curious why a thread from 2012 was back up hahah
I actually got sick of looking at my portfolio balance go down. I made the switch and bought a few residential real estate properties last year. Not saying that's what everyone should do, that's just the direction I decided to go in.
