Last evening I was made aware of a useful and interesting website titled, Transparent Investing. Even if you lose track of this blog you will be able to find this site by going to the ITA Blog tab, and then scrolling down to Bookmarks. There you will find the link to the Transparent Investing (TI) site. Laid out on the TI site are all the essentials to investing, at least for the small investor for which this blog is designed.
When you are on the Transparent Investing site, click on 10 Easy Steps and when you have more time, click on the Full Story. Index investors will find TI of great use.
After reading this material, please comment on your reactions to the paper.

I notice that *Transparent Investing* suggests that the longer term investor put at least 30 per cent of his portfolio in bonds.
On the other hand, ITA Wealth does not. How to reconcile?
David,
I think ITA Wealth is best as were are more flexible to changing interest rates. On the other hand, I have been bearish on bonds for a long time and they held up quite well. Eventually that will changes and I expect it will happen within the next 24 to 36 months.
Commonfund folks agree with ITA.

Lowell, all
Great resource thanks for the link. One of the keys is the emotional part. If we were all Warren Buffet we could buy low and sell high. I was working in 1987 when my son’s college fund went down 20% in a few hours. It came back but didn’t take hours, it took months. Can this happen again? Of course and every time it does we lose “investors” who are the drivers of future. Haven’t found on line hand holder for index funds. How much we pay to have someone help with personal decisions (doctors, investments, etc) can’t be included in an lowest expense ETF. Think the emotional part section links of investing/saving element should have been #1 rather than #4
