Index funds are mutual funds. And ETFs impose a transaction fee each time you make a trade. So you should be advising people to buy index mutual funds.

Thanks for the good advice, I had a question for you and anyone else who might want to weigh in on this: What do you feel is the correct amount of commodities someone should have in their portfolio or 401K? Any particular ones that perform better than others? Are there any Index funds for just commodoties?

Index funds just for commodities or other sections of the economy are called sector funds. The brokerage that holds your 401k may not have sector funds, but if you open a Roth IRA, choose a brokerage that has a variety of index funds (domestic, sector & international); bond funds (gov’t, corporate & international); & reasonable fees for holding your account & for each buy/sell order you submit. This will help you put into effect the asset allocation that you feel is right for you.

Right now I am studying asset allocation (thru books & internet) & re-evaluating how I’ve invested the $ in my own retirement accounts. At 45 yrs old I’m leaning toward the following allocation: 30 – 40% bonds (a mixture of US gov’t, corporate & inter’l bonds) & 70 – 60% stocks (US, real estate, inter’l, & maybe a sector fund). I’ll be using index funds for everything.

Comment on Common Sense on Mutual Funds: New Imperatives for the Intelligent Investor: Updated 10th Anniversary Edition by rc_rc

Review by rc_rc for Common Sense on Mutual Funds: New Imperatives for the Intelligent Investor: Updated 10th Anniversary Edition Rating: Although not as timeless, this is just as important to read as 'the Intelligent Investor', and requires the same effort and a real intellect to understand. There can be no higher praise. This is simply the best book available on the subject of investment funds, directly relevant to the current market. You need to realise that it is US-biased but translates over to the UK easily enough.
