Greetings JLC, The simplest thing to buy and forget, assuming you mean 5 years or greater, is a total market index fund. This reminds me of a thread from the "Index Funds" board about someone who noticed that the Vanguard 500 Index, which while not quite a total market index fund is likely to be close, over the past 5 years returned had a total negative return which she found surprising: http://boards.fool.com/Message.asp?mid=23319272&sort=whole Regards, JB |
