Hi Diehards,
In the library suggestion box we received a lot of interesting suggestions that we believe require their own sub-forum that will contain:
0. Model portfolios tracker - will trace the performance of model portfolios.
1. Personal AA tracker - Posters are invited to update by editing in the same post their personal AA and the reasons for choosing/modifying it.
2. Links to non-commercial finance web sites.
3. Links to personal finance blogs.
4. Links to commercial finance web pages.
The above topics were suggested by: orthros, AshKK, simba and gbs.
Please post here if you are interested in this proposal and/or have any other suggestions to make.

This is an excellent idea. I use a spreadsheet, but it has gotten both much simpler to use and much more powerful over the years. It'd be great to have a place to share and swap files/ideas to make them ever better.norm wrote:All sounds good to me. I would also like to see examples of what format people use to keep track of their investments.

Hi Orthoros,

I think that you can post here a sample of what you have in mind and look out for comments.orthros wrote: Since I suggested idea #1, do I need to make the post that kicks it off?

I think it would be great to have a simple AA list, like so:
15% Vanguard Total Stock Market
15% Vanguard International Index
10% Vanguard Small Index
10% Vanguard Small Cap Index
10% Vanguard Value Index
= 60% stocks
20% Vanguard Total Bond Index
20% Vanguard TIPS
= 40% bonds
And a few optional data points for those willing to share:
Age(s): Me: 34, DW: 35
Anticipated retirement age: 55
Children: 4 (so far)
Investable assets: $500K
Asset goal (in today's $): $2.5M
Long-term real E(r): 6%
