How many other Bogleheads are using Jack Bogle's recommended Two Fund Portfolio? I am in the process of selling my international funds in my 401K and IRA after reading all 10 pages of this thread and the recommendations of Taylor and Abuss368. It was made simpler since I converted everything to the...

Might I suggest the Three-Fund Portfolio? After trying to tweak my previously under-performing portfolio to the Vanguard suggestions I came upon this forum and Taylor Larimore's post. https://www.bogleheads.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=88005 I have since adopted the suggested 60/40 portfolio t...

VTMFX Vanguard Tax-Managed Balanced Fund Admiral Shares seems to be an all-in-one tax efficient fund that might fit your bill.

Mr. Bogle makes several references to Occam's Razor in his book(s)... and this article http://www.businessinsider.com/bogle-st ... de-2015-11

I think it would be wise to give the Captain of the Flagship some advice... or do we succumb to those who believe the old Jedi mind trick to "Move along, Nothing to see here" or to just drink the Kool-aid.

If Jack could travel back in time, what event or events would he most like to witness?

Nice Questions but, Could Mr. Bogle concentrate his answer to the "financial" figures/events of the past?

I had to wait until I got a day off from work to make my contribution to VTABX (in order to balance my Bond portion).
That and a couple of adjustments to the Small and Mid Cap Index to Windsor II to reflect Vanguard's recommendations.

Interestingly there is a timely article on MarketWatch if this can be of help.
