dont ponder the madness

A relatively safe investment strategy for the next five years.

Vanguard 500 Index VFINX : 10%
Vanguard Emerging Markets Stock Index VEIEX :15%
Vanguard European Stock Index VEURX : 2 - 5%
Vanguard Extended Market Index VEXMX : 10%
Vanguard High-Yield Corporate VWEHX : 10%
Vanguard Inflation-Protected Securities VIPSX :10%
Vanguard Long-Term U.S. Treasury VUSTX :10%
Vanguard Pacific Stock Index VPACX : 17-20%
Vanguard Small Cap Growth VISGX : 2 -5%
Vanguard Small Cap Value Index VISVX : 2-5%
Vanguard Total Stock Market Index VTSMX :2-5%

Vanguard is relatively cheap, this combination has given a 22% annual
rate of return over the last 5 years.

Im ready to overweight Asia. long side on big meltdowns...they are
coming. The FXP is simply too dangerous for me, your looking for the
black swans, could be white swan. Thats upside.

China's tryin to be on watch. How many Chinese nationals know about
the weird torch protests? However, I do not think boycott is on the
table.

I know when we started I said only 5 stocks, but we gotta get some
exposure...
