What funds? Why was it bad advice?

Mr. Belding

That's good advice...which I've heard before...just needed to hear it again

It is hard to believe that with all of the options available at Vanguard that

what would you recommend at Vanguard that is similar to AF's Growth Fund or

Exactly. If you’re worried about what happened last year, you are worrying about the wrong thing.

Mr. Belding

1/25/20 12:57pm

just the last 2-3 years, but I get your point

20-30 years is what matters.

DFA funds, with tilts towards dimensions of higher expected returns, outperform index funds in the long term.

People act like it's impossible to pick stocks. It's done successfully every day

I hate American Funds. My company uses them for our 401k, but I have all of my

I'll see your CS and tell you to look into Vanguard
