I tried to post this in the reference library but only moderators can do this...so here goes here. Sorry if this post is in the wrong place.
Why not have a sticky or some sort of reminder on the Investing and Personal Finance Forum to have newbies go to the reference library for popular topics?
Also, is there a topic in the reference library for how to allocate funds between taxable and nontaxable accounts? This is one I like to refer back to often?
Advice for Newbies
I think a stickied basic distilled-wisdom Boglehead advice post would be a good idea- something along the lines of giving the basics of:
Controlling Costs
Taxable/Non-Taxable Investment Placements
Setting an Asset Allocation Portfolio- Risk/Reward
Diversification
Laura would be a good author for this!

This topic is needed but does not have its own post. Again, please make these good suggestions to the librarians.Also, is there a topic in the reference library for how to allocate funds between taxable and nontaxable accounts? This is one I like to refer back to often?

When times are good, investors tend to forget about risk and focus on opportunity. When times are bad, investors tend to forget about opportunity and focus on risk.

The post of Laura's that Taylor mentioned should show up on the forum any day now, since the files were just transferred to Alex, the forum Administrator, for posting. Stay tuned!
