This is a portfolio made up completely of index funds, and is diversified through the ability to index. 75% to 80% of all institutional investors portfolio's are tied up in index funds because they know that it is the cheapest most tax efficient way to make money over the long term...if you don't believe me look it up its a fact.

World Financials index fund...the US will not be the leader in financials within 10 years...likely will be China so why not take advantage of those profits in a world financials index?

Emerging Markets over 10 year periods have been sufficient at producing profits, thats why I have added this index ETF to this portfolio.

Real estate is out of favor in the market as of 3/11/09 and that is why it is one of the best buys for a long term play.

Contrary to popular belief it is small cap value stocks that have produced the largest gains over the long term, and that is why it is imperative to have a small cap value index in this portfolio.

What better way to take advantage of the current market lows than to buy an index fund that encompasses the entire US stock Market. We closed today 3/10/09 under 7,000 on the DOW...what do you think we close at on 3/11/19? Definitely will be a lot higher than 7,000 once inflation rears its ugly head!
