Tom,
I haven't recalculated the total return numbers for my total =
Vanguard in a while. Just eye-balling the various accounts I would =
estimate the total current loss from the Q1 - 2000 peak to be 20 - 30 %. =
That is with a mix that is about 50% Totl Stock Mkt, 25% Bonds 15% =
International Stock, 5% REIT and 5% Energy.
As to my feelings about it, the appeal is that it is a low maint =
portfolio that has done reasonibly well through most times. I had read =
John Vogle's book on using index funds and buy and hold. I bought into =
it. There was also a time back in the early 90's when I managed a =
portion of my portfolio using the Fidelity Monitor newsleter. For a =
period of a couple of years I used both my current approach and followed =
the newsletter. The Vanguard buy and hold strategy out performed the =
newsletter. Eventually, I dropped the newsletter and went strickly with =
Vanguard buy and hold.
=20
On a go forward, I would like to depend less on Vanguard index fund =
buy and hold. =20

Subject: [CANSLIM] Intro - Bob Mansk
Hello All,
I have been a lurker on this list for a few months now and thought =
I would make a proper introduction of myself. I have been investing in =
stocks for about 20 years, although up until now, mostly passively. I =
subscribed to the Vanguard buy and hold index fund approach for the bulk =
of my holdings. Through the recent market down turns I began to =
question that approach, at least for all of my holdings. I got serious =
about learning more about investing in individual stocks. =20
I have recently read WON's HTMMIS and I am starting to apply the =
concepts. I have found the discussions here also an excellent guide and =
reference and look forward to participating in them.
For my day job, I am an independent computer consultant, primarily =
as an Oracle iDBA.
Bob
