What is the appeal of Vanguard Funds?

Low, low fees!

So you would take low fees over a higher net return?

Which of these Large Growth Funds would you rather own....

Fund A) Expense 0.23%, 5 year return - 11.31%, 10 year return - 7.27%

Fund B) Expense 0.83%, 5 year return - 13.14%, 10 year return - 10.26%

Thanks Warren.

Yeah cherry-picking returns for funds is fun! Vanguard sucks because ABC Fund did better than the Vanguard equivalent over three years, I read it right on the innerwebs. Wall Street guy just bought another house on that report,

Lol cherry picking performance, how about researching a fund manager that has smoked your index funds for the past 15 years. Past performance is no indication of the future though right, keep believing that lie. It'd be nice if you could go to a job interview and use that line.

How did your S&P index fund do last year? You saved 50 basis points though!

It's also fairly amusing seeing Warren Buffet mentioned, the main reason I'm sure this Vanguard/Index craze has started. Going off his advice which you base off his PAST PERFORMAMCE. Then investing in an index fund, which he doesn't, instead of investing in his own company. A company which has outperformed the S&P over the last 10-15 years.

If your point is that you know what funds are going to outperform the market - start a newsletter.

Or simply continue to enjoy your superhuman superiority.

You go girl!

Still holding cash but BP and Shell are looking much better these days, no?

BP = 8.3% dividend

Shell = 9.3% dividend

Granted, if they go up, you lose on dividend but gain on price and vice versa. Any reason to not make this the play... not tonight as this stuff keeps going down, but at some time in the next couple of weeks?

Aren't you the investment manager on the board who claims to be able to consistently beat the market?

Still on the sideline. I need to make a decision next week, imo. The bump in oil yesterday scared me a little bit before I thought about buying last night, I remembered this isn't a sprint plus Asia wasn't doing so well. Wake up and more turmoil today, supposedly. The Vanguard funds are doing terrible as well. The oil dividends just seem to push money that way though.

I hope you index, but sounds like your mind is made up to take a huge risk on an individual stock in turmoil.

Still on the sidelines here. Part of me says to go Apple, just because. Oil is down nearly 2% right now but is it maximizing by going oil? Becoming more second guessing and just thinking putting it in the Vanguard funds. The two oil stocks just seem so "good" though.

It's 5.5k. Make a move already.
